Do std antigens remain in the blood even after effective treatment?

Sent to Health Experts April 04 04:27 PM

Can you point me to a website that discusses whether it is possible to tell by a blood test if a person has had std's even if they've undergone successful treatment? Thank you.

Are you asking regarding ALL STD's or a couple in particular? Which?

Sorry but this would have to be researched one by one. If you have a couple in mind I will check. If not I will release this and see if anyone else wants to try to answer this.

Is there a website that says this information? I am trying to convince someone who is not going to take my word as proof. I'd be happy to give you a bonus.

Here is the link for syphillis that says this.
http://www.aafp.org/afp/20030715/283.html
HPV is uncurable in ALL who get it so there is no question there.
Once a person has it the antigens will never clear.
Here is a link re chlamydia that says that a positive test means it is NOT cured:

Hopefully this will convince this person.
Please click ACCEPT.
And a BONUS is appreciated.
