Gynecologists may recommend the FTA-ABS test in several scenarios:
Positive non-treponemal test results (RPR or VDRL). Patients presenting with symptoms consistent with syphilis, such as genital ulcers or rashes. Screening of pregnant women to prevent congenital syphilis. Routine STI screening in individuals at high risk, including those with multiple sexual partners or a history of other STIs.
