What this test screens for
Understanding the Syphilis
Our Syphilis Test in Ashburn is a blood screen that checks for syphilis, an infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum that often produces no obvious symptoms in its early stages. The screen uses an RPR (rapid plasma reagin) method, and when a result comes back reactive, the laboratory follows standard protocol with a confirmatory treponemal test to verify the finding. The whole visit is a single blood draw at our Goose Creek Village location, with results typically ready in 24 to 72 hours.
Timing matters with syphilis screening. Antibodies generally become detectable about three to six weeks after exposure, so a very early test may not yet show a recent infection. If you are testing soon after a possible exposure, you may want to retest after the window has passed for added confidence. A syphilis screen can be ordered on its own for $49, or bundled into our Basic STD Panel or Comprehensive STD Panel, which combine several common screens into one blood draw and one visit at a lower combined cost.
No doctor referral or insurance is needed. We include the physician’s order, and because you pay directly, nothing is billed through insurance, so your results stay private. Samples are processed at industry-standard reference labs, and your report posts to a secure online portal you control.

What to expect
From check-in to results — what your visit looks like
Most visits take under 15 minutes. Here’s the full arc, start to finish.
How to prepare
No fasting or special preparation is required for a syphilis blood test, and you can eat and drink normally beforehand. The main thing to keep in mind is timing: antibodies typically take about three to six weeks to develop after exposure, so testing too soon may miss a recent infection. Bring a photo ID, and if you are testing because of a specific exposure, it helps to know roughly when it occurred so you can judge whether the window has passed.
During your visit
Walk into our Goose Creek Village location at 42775 Generation Drive during open hours, no appointment needed. You will check in, confirm your information, and a trained collector will draw a small blood sample from a vein in your arm. The draw itself takes just a couple of minutes, and most clients are in and out in around fifteen. Because we include the doctor’s order, you do not need to bring anything from a physician.
Getting your results
Results are typically ready within 24 to 72 hours and post to your private, secure online portal, where you can view and download them at your convenience. If you would like, we can fax your report to your healthcare provider. A reactive screen, confirmed by treponemal testing per lab protocol, suggests exposure to syphilis and should be reviewed with a medical provider. We provide the lab report only; we do not diagnose or treat, so your next step is to share the results with a doctor who can advise on care.

FAQ
Syphilis Test — what people ask
Specific questions about the syphilis test. For anything not covered, call 571-500-7030.
How long after exposure should I get a syphilis test?
Syphilis antibodies generally become detectable about three to six weeks after exposure. If you test earlier than that, a recent infection may not yet show up, so a repeat test after the window has passed can give you more confidence in a non-reactive result.
Will this test show up on my insurance?
No. You pay directly at the time of your visit, so nothing is billed through insurance and there is no insurance record of the test. Your results post only to your private, secure online portal, which keeps your screening confidential.
What does a reactive syphilis result mean?
A reactive screen, confirmed by treponemal testing per lab protocol, indicates exposure to syphilis and warrants follow-up with a healthcare provider. We provide the lab report only and do not diagnose or treat, so you would share the result with a doctor who can determine the appropriate next steps.
