Hello , I understand your concern. I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern. VDRL test can be a false positive in certain connective tissue disorder. So if your recruiter is relying only on VDRL you have to tell them regarding your TPHA test. Medically TPHA is more useful than VDRL. I advice you should take the printed report to the reviewer committee to prove that your report for VDRL is false positive. Glad to answer your further concern. We wish you a best health at healthcare magic. Thank you, Dr. Arun Tank If you are satisfied with my answer rate me as five star and close the answer
