Hello,
The VDRL positive test result means you can have syphilis infection in past or recent. You have to confirm syphilis infection by FTA ABS like a more specific test for syphilis. It can be cured by the antibiotic.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
