Hi,
VRDL can be false positive and it's not a specific test to rule in syphilis. As per what you described in your question, it seems you do not have syphilis. That being said, the general precautionary measures you can take to prevent STDs would be a consistent use of condoms, avoiding sexual intercourse with unknown partners, avoiding sexual intercourse with multiple partners.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
