The VDRL usually becomes reactive within the first few weeks after infection, peaks during the first year, and then slowly declines, so that low titers (levels) are seen in late stage of disease. It can revert to negative in the absence of treatment in about 25% of cases. The sensitivity of nontreponemal and treponemal tests for disease increases with duration of infection, and ranges from approximately 75% in the primary stage to virtually 100% in the secondary stage.
You need to take complete treatment.
