The test can detect both early and late syphilis infection.

Symptoms of syphilis infection include a hard chancre around the genital area, oral or throat mucosa, fever, fatigue, headache and joint pain, skin changes, heart valve abnormalities, headaches, balance issues, vomiting, personality changes, mood disorders, and even psychosis.
