Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM
I understand your concern and situation.

I would like to know what are your symptoms? VDRL does not have symptoms. It is syphilis which is disease and causes reactive VDRL. If VDRL titre is more than 1:8 then it is considered significant and needs other confirmation tests like FTA Abs and TPHA.
Syphilis has various symptoms depending upon state. There can be condyloma a genital ulcer, mucocutaneous lesion, lymphadenopathy. Sometimes cardiovascular and neurological symptoms in advanced disease. It is an STD transmitted diseases. Treatment is antibiotics. Safe sexual practices in high risk.

Take care

Brief Answer:
You are completely normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

There are low level of titers present in normal people like 1:2, 1:4. This means that you are not having syphilis infection and your test is non reactive. You need not worry. You are completely medically fit and can travel abroad.

Take care
