The VDRL test is done to detect the presence of any syphilis infection, but this test should ideally be done in the middle stages of the infection. The  VDRL Test is non-specific, and can sometimes yield a false positive result. Syphilis antibodies are only generated in the middle stages of the infection. The best time to do the VDRL test is between 21 days to 6 weeks.

The price of a VDRL test may vary due to different factors. However, the standard cost for a VDRL test at PharmEasy in Delhi typically falls within the range of INR 129 to INR 440. Feel free to compare VDRL test prices across major cities in India.

If the doctor notices the presence of syphilis infection or any other sexually transmitted disease, they will prescribe a VDRL test. Apart from syphilis, the test can detect gonorrhoea and neurosyphilis. Some of the symptoms are:

• Lesions on the penis or vagina, mouth, and anus that resemble warts
• Chancre formation, which is a red round sore
• Red rashes on the body
• Fever
• Muscle ache
• Swollen lymph nodes
• Unexplained weight loss

The VDRL test is also prescribed under some conditions without symptoms. These are:

• During pregnancy, as a routine checkup
• If there is more than one sexual partner
• In case of unprotected sex
• In case of a history of gonorrhoea treatment

No special preparation has to be done before the VDRL test. Fasting is not required.

During the VDRL Test

After the VDRL test has been booked, a phlebotomist will be assigned who will arrive at the specified location to collect the blood sample. Maintaining hygiene and safety protocols, the phlebotomist uses sterilised, disposable needles and gloves. They also use a vein finder device, which helps them find the best vein to draw blood from. The samples are carefully stored and then transported to the laboratory for analysis.
