Brief Answer: Yes you should recieve it Detailed Answer: Dear Friend. Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern. Your VDRL is weakly positive but TPHA is also positive. TPHA signifies past or present infection. If it is positive , it may be due to past infection or may be due to present infection. In such cases, we do VDRL titres . The exact value is not mentioned in reports but is is written as weakly positive. So, its better to go for treatment as rightly adviced by your doctor. But get the penicillin sensitivity test before the shot, that probably your doctor will himself do. This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any query you may please ask me. Stay Healthy. Dr Anshul Varshney , MD
