The Exposure the Syphilis — the Timed/the Managed
The syphilis testing after unprotected sex is the **timed and managed screening** — exposure ( unprotected contact can transmit syphilis through chancre or mucosal lesion — often unnoticed because chancre is painless) — timed ( serology is reliable from ~3-6 weeks; immediate baseline plus repeat at ~6 weeks and ~3 months provides certainty).
The full panel is indicated together — same exposure can transmit HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, and herpes — each with its own window; coordinated schedule covers all of them.
At Thamel Clinic, post-exposure is managed correctly — timed, full panel, and supported.
The Exposure — the Timed/the Panel
The unprotected sex — syphilis is transmitted through contact with chancre or mucous-patch lesion; primary chancre is painless and can be hidden (cervical, rectal, oral), so exposure without symptoms still warrants screening.
The schedule — baseline now ( lesion PCR if a lesion is present), serology at ~6 weeks, and repeat at ~3 months; the HIV NAT/4th-generation, the CT/GC NAAT, and the HBV markers are added on their own timelines.
The symptoms — painless ulcer, rash on palms or soles, or generalized lymphadenopathy in following weeks is assessed promptly, not waited out.
