Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is possible that the one positive report was a false positive. You could get a VDRL and an ABS done. You do not need to worry, as based on these tests, an internist could prescribe appropriate antibiotics to treat it, if positive. Do not get yourself too worked up until you actually get a positive test and not even then. Medicine has advanced enough to treat the condition.

I hope this helped.
