Regarding your positive VDRL test

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist and venereologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.

You may show to a venereologist. VDRL positive means that you may or may not have syphilis. You must also test for TPHA for confirmation as well as do VDRL titres.

Hi

Yes, you may repeat VDRL (along with its titres) in addition to these other STD screening tests(HIV, HSV type 1 &2 IgM and IgG).
