Not a disease: The venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) test is designed to find if you have syphilis, a sexually transmitted bacterial infection. Instead of testing for the bacteria that causes syphilis, the VDRL test checks for antibodies.Test is not always accurate with false neg and pos seen in other dis like HIV malaria etc. If you do have syphilis, it is best treated by infectious dis doc.
