Overview
Screening guidelines for syphilis include all high risk non pregnant individuals aged 15-65, all pregnant females, men who have sex with men, women who have sex with women, HIV positive individuals.[1] Routine screening of adolescents who are asymptomatic for syphilis is not recommended [2][3]
Screening
Screening guidelines for syphilis are:
Non pregnant adults and adolescents (Age 15-65)
- All individuals who are at increased risk for syphilis should be screened for syphilis Grade A recommendation.[1][4]
- Routine screening of adolescents who are asymptomatic for syphilis is not recommended [2]
Pregnant women
- At first prenatal visit[5]
- Retest at early third trimester and delivery if high risk [3]
- High risk population which require frequent screening includes: [3]
- Uninsured women
- Women living in poverty
- Sex workers
- Illicit drug users
- Presence of other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
- Other women living in communities with high syphilis morbidity
Men who have sex with men
- Anually for sexually active men who have sex with men[5]
- Every 3 to 6 months if increased risk
Women who have sex with women
- Routine screening is recommended[2]
Persons with HIV
- At first HIV evaluation for sexually active individuals[5][6]
- Annually after first evaluation
- More frequent testing for individuals who are at increased risk or are residing in highly prevalent area for syphilis
Screening tests
Screening tests recommended for syphilis include the following:[7]
Screening Non treponemal tests
Confirmatory treponemal tests
- Fluorescent treponemal antibody absorbed (FTA-ABS)[8]
- Treponema pallidum particle agglutination (TPPA)[9]
