Treated syphilis, TT, lipo 360 and BBL?

Question

Treated for syphilis over 6 years ago. RPR still comes back positive/reactive this day, titers have never shown re-infection. Titers have always been 1:1 after treatment. I’m healthy outside of this. Is surgery still possible? This is so frustrating since I have been through treatment but still show reactive. Infectious disease specialist says RPR may always been reactive but titers show no new infection.

Hello, thank you for your question. Having an infection going should be treated and cleared as it could potentially cause increased risk of complications.

Dear Surgery_d0ll31,
as long as you don't have an active infection it should not be an issue. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
