Response from Dr. Frascino
 Hello, VDRL is a screening test for syphilis and is included in many STD (sexually transmitted diseases) screens. It, however, has nothing to do with screening for HIV. HIV screening requires an HIV-specific test. You can read more about HIV tests and STD screens in the archives of the Safe Sex/HIV Prevention forum. Good luck. Dr. Bob |
