Syphilis Swab of Chancre

Three reasons to choose the Better2Know Syphilis test

• This test will diagnose if you have a syphilis sore or Chancre
• This test provides fast and accurate results for Syphilis

The Better2Know Syphilis Swab test can accurately and reliably detect syphilis from your suspected chancre. A chancre is a skin lesion caused by the Syphilis bacteria. It normally appears in the first three weeks following infection but can take up to 90 days.

If you do not have a chancre, please choose our syphilis blood test.

The only way to know if you have syphilis, even if you have had a chancre and it has gone away, is to get tested. Just because the chancre has gone away does not mean that you no longer have syphilis.
