As pre advice by dermatologist tpha and vdrl tested. Test reports shows that tpha is positive, vdrl is reactive and titre is 1:1. Doctor adviced for penicillin 1.2 million for 3 injection in 3 week and take test after one month. After 1 month in test report found vdrl is reactive and titre is 1:1. Note that he do not have any symptoms for syphilis in his body. Asking your advice.
