VDRL is a syphilis test. He needs to have a confirmation test done, usually a FTA-ABS or TPPA. If that is also positive, he will need to get shots of penicillin for treatment.
Syphilis is easily curable, and if he does have it, he can get it cured and have a totally normal life.
He needs to follow up on this though - untreated syphilis can cause all kinds of serious problems.
