HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.
See 12 years ago you were positive for VDRL . It means you had Syphilis and you received treatment and you were cured . But once you get syphilis this TPHA test will be positive for life . It doesn't mean that you are not cured or you need further treatment. It's just that that test remains positive for life inspite of complete treatment .
So nothing to worry and no need for any further treatment.
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
