Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

TPHA will be positive through out your lifetime and it indicates previous infections and nothing significant. You don’t need to worry about TPHA unless you have symptoms of syphilis.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.
