A member asked:
I am using antibiotics. my question is there is any false positive or negative impact on vdr test screening during using antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It takes many weeks for antibiotics to lower the VDRL result or make it negative, by curing syphilis. If you've been on the antibiotic just a few days when you were tested, it had no effect on the VDRL and you can rely on the negative result.
