What else kind of std's can vdrl/rpr test can find?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Syphilis: The vdrl is a very sensitive but non-specific test which is used to screen for syphilis. If positive further more specific testing is done to confirm this, since the vdrl or RPR is often falsely positive. It does not test for any other stds. There are individual tests for each of the others.
