Hi,
Your test results showed that TPHA test for syphilis is positive. But don't worry, it is not with significant concentration.
It may be falsely positive in few patients history of blood transfusion or dilution techniques.
In immunosuppressed patients, it may come like a false negative.
Please consult your physician get it examined then, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
