What does a reactive VDRL test indicate?

Q: What is reactive VDRL? Do I need to undergo another test if I am reactive for VDRL? Which test do I need to take?

A:The VDRL test is done to look for a disease called syphilis. If you have a positive test you should go to your doctor and get his/her opinion. The commonest test done to confirm syphilis is either TPHA or FTA-ABS.Syphilis is a treatable connection. You should also ask your partner to also see a doctor.
