Yes it is possible. Since you are getting a negative TPHA then the VDRL will show a reactive number probably for years but it will keep geting lower. But if you never had syphilis then I do not know why it keeps showing reactive.

I would follow up with the Dr, maybe try to get him to write a note saying that you do not have syphilis and the reasons why your test is showing reactive.
