Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



TPHA once positive remains positive for ever even after complete treatment. Nothing to worry about its persistence. VDRL following treatment will come to nonreactive after few months to an year according to the duration of the disease. In some individuals in case of late syphilis (after two years) it may remain positive for life. That does not mean inadequate treatment. Penicillin is the drug of choice.



Hope I have answered your query.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
