Hey Doctors... I Want To Ask If Someone Has Negative

Hey doctors...
I want to ask if someone has negative vdrl and positive tpha what is this mean?
I read that this means that he might have late latent syphilis and requires treatment
If so and vdrl negative... How can he monitor his response to treatment?
I read also that only vdrl and rpr the only test to monitor response to therapy and treponemal tests like tpha and fta abs poorly related to response to treatment
Then how can he know if he is cured?
How can he follow up for relapse or reinfection?
