Could the A1C blood test (glucose test) detect STD'S such as syphilis?A1C Test Detecting STD's?
No.
Hba1c detects glycosylated hemoglobin molecules (hemoglobin next to extra sugar molecules on it). This is only elevated when you own extra sugar floating around in your bloodstream. It averages you blood sugar level over the lifespan of a red blood cell (around 3 mos)
So no, it cannot detect syphilis, which is an RPR or VDRL test.
No, really I don't surmise so. One has nil to do with the other.
Nope.
