About syphilis test in London, England

Hi mates. I'm Jonathan, 24 years old. First of all, I should say thank you to you who help me. I had two sexual experiences with two guys in June, last year. I was given oral sex and rimmed. We didn't have any anal sex. I don't know why but recently I started to worry about syphilis, so I asked them two about their syphilis status. They sent me their syphilis test done at 56 Dean Street, London. One was done in September, 2020 and another one in January, 2021. Their massage say " Your syphilis test result was negative (clear).  You don't need any treatment." I learnt that if it was a TPPA test, it means that they never had syphilis before, including the time when they had sex with me. But if it was a RPR test, it can only mean that they don't have syphilis when they were done the test.  But the message was too short for me to know what kind of test was given to them at this clinic. So, my question is, in the UK, when a STD clinic says someone is syphilis negative (clear), it means that they did both TPPA test and RPR or TRUST test? Thank you so much for your kind help.

No one here could possibly know what test that specific clinic is giving or what their brief message means.  Why not call the clinic and ask them those questions? You don't have to reveal your partner's name to them to get a general answer.

I agree totally with this.

However, have you tested? Their results, just stating that they are clear at the time of their tests, months after your encounters, isn't helpful for you. They could have had it and been cured by that time. Why don't you just test for yourself and find out if YOU have it? That's a lot easier than this detective work.
