Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to us.
If you had a negative VDRL three years ago after leaving your girl friend and you did not have any other partners except for your wife then your VDRL status should be the same even now. Even if you repeat the test now it is likely to come negative.
I hope my answer and recommendations are adequate and helpful. Waiting for your further follow up queries if any.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
