have you ever been tested + for syphilis before?
a negative vdrl and a + treponemal test means you need a 3rd test to confirm your status. If you have a 2nd + treponemal test, you need to have your provider consult with an infectious disease specialist as to whether to treat or not.

There are a lot of things that can cause false positives on the VDRL test. Here is a partial list:
malaria
leptospirosis
leprosy
mononucleosis
lupus
lymphogranuloma venereum
mycoplasmal pneumonia
typhus
cat-scrath fever
hepatitis
periarteritis nodosa
acute viral and bacterial infections
hypersensitivity reactions
recent vaccinations
Obviously, not all of these apply, but I thought I'd put all of them down. This list was taken from Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests, 2nd ed.
