The VDRL test is done to look for a disease called syphilis. If you have a positive test you should go to your doctor and get his/her opinion. The commonest test done to confirm syphilis is either TPHA or FTA-ABS. Syphilis is a treatable connection. You should also ask your partner to also see a doctor.
