Overview
PharmEasy Labs will do the VDRL test to measure the antibodies produced in response to the bacteria causing syphilis infection. It's the Treponema pallidum (T. pallidum) bacterium that's the root cause of this problem. It's this bacteria that will enter your body and the immune system will produce antibodies. These antibodies are proteins that destroy the invading bacteria. In case the test gives negative results, it would mean that the blood does not contain any antibodies to syphilis.
Apart from syphilis, the risk assessment will be done for gonorrhoea, and neurosyphilis under this test. There are also times when VDRL tests yield false positive results. If you engage in unusual sexual activities, it will become necessary to take this test. This infection can also be transmitted from mother to baby during pregnancy. Once syphilis enters your bloodstream, it may spread all across your body. In case you don't treat it, syphilis can affect vital organs like the heart, brain, nervous system and eyes.
Test Necessity
There are various reasons why you should take up VDRL. This test will be recommended in any of the following cases:
- Men who have sex with men
- Pregnant women
- People living with HIV
Apart from this, you should go for this test for any of the following reasons:
- If you're having symptoms of syphilis
- In case you're exposed to T. pallidum
- If you've been recently treated for syphilis
- In case you're currently receiving treatment for another STI
- If you engage in sexual activity without the use of barrier contraceptives
Once the appearance of a chancre or the rashes change, you don't have to wait too long before ordering for the test through PharmEasy's website.
Test Preparation
There's no fasting required to do the VDRL. You can go for the test without any real preparation. However, do consult with your doctor for any other requirements before going for the test.
During the VDRL Test
PharmEasy will send an experienced phlebotomist to get the VDRL test done at your place. Blood is drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. The vein is located using a vein finder for convenience. The biggest priority is given to hygiene throughout the procedure.
