A reactive syphilis test result is an indication that syphilis may be present. If the test result is an RPR, it should be followed with more specific testing to confirm that diagnosis. A number of other conditions can cause a positive RPR.

What is the first test used for detecting HIV what happens if the results of this test are reactive?

The first test performed is ELISA (or EIA) is a test that screens for the presence of HIV antibodies in the blood. This test is not a test for HIV/AIDS its a very sensitive and will be reactive even if there are only 1 or 2 antibodies in that person blood sample. If the results are reactive that test will be followed by a second test called confirmatory test which is highly accurate test in which it's is used to confirm the results of the ELISA.
