VDRL Test

by joey72, Jan 08, 2009 04:40AM
I had sex with a girl in a 1 night stand and it was safe sex with the condom and all, but I'm frightened like hell that she might had syphilis, I had my VDRL test 16 days after I had sex and it came out Negative, so is that long enough or I should have waited longer and than take the test to be sure the result is negative? How long dose it take for the body to start producing syphilis antibodies that will show in the test?

6 week test is 100%. But syphilis is very rare in developed countries and rare in women. I would not worry about syphilis.
