The VDRL test is a nontreponemal or nonspecific test that can sometimes yield a false positive result. The body does not generate antibodies in the early and later stages of syphilis infection. This blood test should ideally be done within 21 days of exposure and 6 weeks after the infection has occurred. This is because antibodies only develop during the middle stage.

You may be prescribed the VDRL test if the doctor suspects you have any sexually transmitted disease like syphilis, gonorrhoea, or neurosyphilis.

The test is also prescribed under the following situations:

• A routine checkup during pregnancy
• People who have multiple sexual partners
• People who engage in unprotected sex
• People who have been treated for gonorrhoea
• Symptoms are seen of a sexually transmitted disease
• Presence of chancre- a small and round red sore on the genitals
• Wart-like lesions in the vagina, anus, penis, and mouth
• Red rashes on the body
• Fever
• Swollen lymph nodes
• Sore throat
• Muscle ache

No special preparation is required for the VDRL test. It can be booked for any time slot in the day, as you do not need to fast before the test.

During the VDRL Test

Once the test has been booked, a trained phlebotomist will visit the location to collect the sample. The test is done using new sterilized needles and gloves, and a vein finder device to locate the best vein to draw blood from. The sample is stored in barcoded vials and safely transported to the laboratory for analysis.
