Overview
Doctors typically order a VDRL test if there's a suspicion of syphilis, especially when early symptoms like a painless sore, lymph node swelling, or a non-itchy skin rash are observed. Additionally, routine screenings may occur, such as during pregnancy or when treating other sexually transmitted infections, HIV infection, or engaging in high-risk sexual activity.
A VDRL positive test indicates the presence of syphilis antibodies, but its accuracy varies based on the syphilis stage. While false-negative results are possible in the primary phase, the VDRL test is more reliable in the secondary and latent phases of syphilis. To confirm the diagnosis, doctors often recommend the FTA-ABS test.

Test Necessity
The VDRL test is crucial for early detection of syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection affecting genital, oral, and anal areas. Syphilis, if untreated, can spread throughout the body, impacting vital organs like the heart, brain, nervous system, and eyes. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications and organ damage.
Test Preparation
No special preparation is needed before taking the VDRL test. You can get the test done without undergoing fasting or any dietary restrictions. Please remember to inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are currently taking. This will help them accurately interpret your VDRL test results.
During the VDRL Test
In the VDRL test process, our 6-step procedure prioritises patient safety and comfort. Vaccinated phlebotomists wear masks, face shields, and gloves. They collect blood samples carefully from the vein using a new test kit. They use a Vein Finder tool to locate a prominent vein quickly. The samples collected are stored in a barcoded vial and sent to certified labs for testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get the results of the VDRL test in Noida?
VDRL test reports are made available within 21 hours after sample collection in Noida. The time might vary slightly depending on the pincode of your registered address. This is because if the location is significantly distant from the diagnostic centre, additional time may be required for the sample to be transported to the lab.
Do patients have to collect the VDRL reports in Noida from the lab?
No. There is no need to visit the diagnostic centre in Noida. The VDRL test reports are promptly sent to the email accounts of the patients. For easy access, they are also shared on the PharmEasy accounts.
Is fasting required for the VDRL test?
No. The VDRL test is a non-fasting test. This means that you can eat and drink normally before taking this test.
How much does the VDRL test cost in Noida?
The VDRL test cost in Noida varies from Rs. 129 to Rs. 439, with the final price depending on your location within the city.
Do false positives occur in VDRL tests?
Yes. Conditions such as tuberculosis, Lyme disease, HIV/AIDS, malaria, systemic lupus erythematosus, recent blood transfusions, IV drug use, or pneumonia can lead to false positives in VDRL tests.
What are the four stages of syphilis infection?
Syphilis progresses through four stages: Primary, marked by a highly contagious lesion called a chancre; Secondary, with symptoms like fever, headache, and joint pain; Latent, a hidden phase without noticeable signs; and Tertiary, a potentially life-threatening phase with symptoms such as blindness, deafness, and neurological issues.
Does a positive VDRL test stay for life after syphilis infection?
No. Post successful treatment of syphilis, a positive VDRL test doesn't persist for life. Though antibodies may linger, VDRL titers should significantly decrease within a few months after treatment for primary or secondary syphilis, and within a longer timeframe for latent syphilis.
