Chlamydia information

Chlamydia trachomatis does not leave any immunity. Re-infection can occur if the person comes into contact with Chlamydia trachomatis again.

Gonorrhea information

Gonorrhea (gonorrhea) leaves no immunity. Reinfection can occur if the person comes into contact with gonococci again.

Hepatitis C information

The usual screening test for hepatitis C is the detection of HCV-IgG antibodies in the blood. However, it can take several weeks after infection before the test is positive. If the screening test is positive, further confirmatory tests must be carried out, such as the HCV immunoblot or HCV RNA direct detection.

Syphilis information

If a person has previously had syphilis, the screening test will remain positive. Only on the basis of the activity marker RPR can it be distinguished in such cases whether this person currently has an active infection. Syphilis leaves no immunity. Reinfection can occur if the person comes into contact with the pathogen Treponema pallidum again.
