This work contributes to the knowledge of clinical laboratory diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections. Its study is of great importance due to the conditions in which these infections are prevalent, such as promiscuity and prostitution, especially in urban areas. The Rapid Syphilis Test (RST) is a test for diagnosing the Treponema pallidum bacterium in blood, which is currently being used in clinical laboratories in our country and worldwide, so it was deemed appropriate to determine its performance. A population of 909 pregnant women, vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections and who regularly attend the maternal care center in Lima, was selected. A quantitative, retrospective, cross-sectional, and observational study was conducted. Subsequently, blood samples were tested using the RST and FTA-ABS "EUROIMMUN" tests. The performance of the RST was then determined using formulas to calculate its sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and concordance using the Kappa index, with the FTA-ABS "EUROIMMUN" test as the reference test. The results indicate that the RST is sensitive and specific, with 100% concordance with the reference test, as well as its positive and negative predictive values, and the concordance by Kappa index was 1
