Hello Doctor, Last May from my blood test came to know that I have syphilis. Doctor prescribed me 6 shots of penicillin 1.2 million. I got all the 6 shots but still my vdrl report is positive, though the dilution came down 1: 32 to 1: 16. Doctor prescribed me another 6 shots, but 2 at a time. (Penicillin 1.2 m two shots each buttock for 3 week). I already got 1st two shots. My question is how long it will take to get my vdrl report negative again? As my dilution came down from the 1st report (from 1: 32 to 1: 16), am I curing very slow? Am I getting proper treatment?

You are getting a proper treatment and your body is responding and you are getting relieved of the infection slowly. Continue the doses as prescribed by your doctor along with regular follow up. You will be also be given oral medication to continue for few days if required. Don't worry your doctor is treating you well.
