RPR Card Test for Syphilis

ASI’s nontreponemal (lipidoal antigen) Rapid Plasma Reagin test screens for syphilis; a sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum (a spirochete bacteria). The disease is found worldwide and is easily treated if detected early. If left untreated it can be fatal and facilitate the transmission and acquisition of HIV.¹ This test is FDA cleared for use in diagnostic screening.

Nontreponemal tests, such as the ASI RPR Card Test, are more reliable indicators of untreated syphilis infections and are used to monitor response to treatment or to indicate new infections.2
