The VDRL test doesn't directly detect syphilis bacteria; instead, it checks for antibodies produced in response to the bacteria's damage to cells. These antibodies help diagnose syphilis. Untreated syphilis can harm vital organs like the brain, spinal cord, and heart.

Screening and testing allow early diagnosis of syphilis and other STIs. The VDRL test is a quick and simple syphilis screening, but it's not always 100% accurate and may yield false-positive results. For a confirmed syphilis diagnosis, a follow-up test like the RPR test may be necessary. Treatment for syphilis typically involves antibiotics, and timely treatment is crucial to prevent severe complications.

The pricing of a VDRL test can fluctuate due to various factors. Nonetheless, the standard cost for a VDRL test at PharmEasy in Allahabad (Currently known as Prayagraj)  typically falls between INR 129 and INR 440.

The VDRL test is routinely included in prenatal care for pregnant individuals as a precautionary measure regardless of symptoms.

Your doctor might also recommend syphilis testing if you are being treated for another sexually transmitted infection, have an HIV diagnosis, or engage in high-risk sexual activity.

After syphilis treatment, follow-up testing is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to ensure treatment effectiveness and complete elimination of the infection.

The VDRL test is a straightforward blood test, and there's no need for fasting. If your doctor requires any specific preparations before the test, they will provide you with instructions in advance.
