RPR (rapid plasma reagin) is a screening test for syphilis. It looks for antibodies that are present in the blood of people who have the disease. The test is similar to the venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) test. Reference from A.D.A.M.
A positive RPR or VDRL screen must be followed by a specific treponemal antibody test (e.g., FTA-ABS, TP-PA): A positive result on the second method confirms the screening result and the affected person is diagnosed with syphilis.
