Doctors recommend that the VDRL test should be done to detect the presence of syphilis infection in the middle stage of the infection. The reason is that the VDRL test is nonspecific and can sometimes give a false positive result. Antibodies for syphilis are only generated by the body in the middle stage. Hence, the VDRL test should be done within 21 days to 6 weeks after the infection.

The doctor will prescribe a VDRL test if they observe symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhoea, syphilis, and neurosyphilis. These symptoms are:

• Formation of chancre, which is a red round sore
• Lesions on the vagina/penis, anus, and mouth that look like warts
• Red rashes on the body
• Swollen lymph nodes
• Fever
• Muscle ache
• Sore throat
• Hair fall
• Unexplained weight loss

The test is also prescribed under the following conditions:

• Routine checkups during pregnancy
• If people have more than one sexual partner
• If people engage in unprotected sex
• If people have been treated for gonorrhoea in the past

The VDRL test is a simple blood test, and no special preparation is required for it. You do not have to be fasting before taking this test and can book it for any convenient time slot.
