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.
Test Necessity
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

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
