TPHA that is trepenoma pallidum hemagglutination assay is one of the confirmatory test for syphilis. You are showing this test Positive. So in inference you are positive for syphilis. you should complete the treatment first. once you completed the treatment your Ig M first goes down. sencondly Ig G requires much longer time to decrease. It may require some months time to go to normal
