The VDRL test helps best detect a possible case of the infection in its middle stages. At an early stage, it can sometimes also yield a false positive result. As the antibodies of the syphilis infection are produced during the middle stages of the infection, the ideal period to get the test done is between 21 days and 6 weeks of contracting the infection.

Your healthcare provider will advise you to get a  VDRL test if you are noticing any symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis, gonorrhoea, or neurosyphilis. The symptoms can be:

• Formation of chancres, red round sores on the body
• Fever
• Wart-like lesions on the vagina or penis, mouth, and anus
• Muscle aches
• Red rashes on the body
• Swollen lymph nodes
• Unexplained weight loss

The VDRL test is also prescribed without noticing any symptoms in some cases. Such cases include:

• As a routine checkup during pregnancy
• If there are more than one sexual partners involved
• If there is a history of gonorrhoea treatment
• If you have indulged in unprotected sex

There are no special preparations that have to be done before the VDRL test as the individual does not need to fast. PharmEasy Labs in Raipur will notify you in case any special preparatory guidelines need to be followed.

During the VDRL Test

After you book your VDRL test with PharmEasy Labs, a phlebotomist will be assigned to you. They will visit the desired location and time to collect the blood sample in a hygienic manner, using sterilised needles, gloves and a vein finder device that helps detect the best vein to draw blood from, reducing discomfort. The blood samples are then stored in barcoded vials in cooling containers, then transported to the laboratory for analysis.
