This antibody is not produced as a reaction to syphilis specifically, so the test result could be abnormal for reasons other than syphilis. Rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test. Negative: Nontreponemal antibodies not detected. Positive: Specimen reflexed to determine rapid plasma reagin titer.

What is the Purpose of the Rpr/vdrl ?

RPR/VDRL Test is often advised for following purposes:

Diagnosis: If you have symptoms or indicators that point to syphilis, diagnostic testing is advised. Doctors may advise testing for syphilis even in cases when symptoms are not severe or specific to the infection because it can cause a wide range of symptoms. Two tests are typically needed to diagnose syphilis: an initial screening (non-treponemal tests) and a confirmatory test (treponemal tests).
Screening: Syphilis screening includes screening for the infection in individuals who do not exhibit any clinical symptoms. Such screening is important for both the individuals who are more likely to spread the infection to others and those who are at a high risk of getting syphilis.
Monitoring: Syphilis treatment treatment is important to ensure you are responding to the prescribed treatment.
