Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the Penicillin is the proven gold standard therapy for curing VDRL positive cases. The prognosis is determined by the reduction in the level of the VDRL test. Many patients do remain VDRL positive even for months after the control of causative orgaism. So just continue Penicillin as per your doc advise and get tested as and when told by the doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
