On 14/6/17 my vdrl report came reactive with 1: 32 dilution. Then took 6 shots of penicillin 1.2 every once in a week. On 18/8/17 again took the vdrl test and report came still reactive with 1: 16 dilution. So as per doctor suggestion again I took penicillin 1.2 M shots two at a time three weeks. So I got total of 12 shots of penicillin 1.2 M. On 7/9/17again took the vdrl test and it's still shows reactive with same as last report with 1: 16 dilution. Terribly scared and frustrated now. Am I cured or not? Do I need to take more injections? Why the reports are still reactive on same dilution? When I will be negative again? Please some one help me.
