RPR Accuracy

Hi,

I had protected sex 5 times from October 2014 to January 25,2015 (the last time). On April 20,2015 I had the following tests:
- RPR
- VDRL
- HIV Test

Thankfully all these tests came back negative.
I am a bit concerned whether these are accurate since these tests were done exactly 12 weeks post my last sexual encounter. Should I have to get any other tests done? I reiterate that I had protected sex. I have not yet seen any symptoms barring pimples on my face and chest.  Please help so I could be at peace.

6 week test for syphilis is conclusive. HIV questions post in the HIV forum.

Hi Vance,

Thanks for your reply, but some of the information online says that protection is not 100% safe. That's what got me worrying. Would highly appreciate if you could comment on the 12 weeks accuracy.
Thanks
