It depends on the specific test

Hello Folks,

What is the quickest turnaround to get STD test results?   I've had a few tests done at Kaiser over the last 3 years and it takes several day up to a week in some cases to get results.    Is it possible to get testing done in the morning and get results back the same day or maybe the next day?  Is there a facility that only does testing?
Thanks

I’ve had some results same day.  Trichomoniasis seems to take the longest.

You can ask the agency what tests they use. (Normally, I'd look up some refs for you but I don't have time. Well, here's one: http://www.differencebetween.net/science/difference-between-antibody-test-and-pcr-test/ ) E.g., for any given disease there may be a "fast" test, like maybe a dip stick test based on an antibody, that is less sensitive and less selective than a PCR test that can take overnight or 24 hrs.. If you're being charged, the PCR test might cost more than the antibody test.
.
You can google stuff like "How do they test for __[enter STD here]___?" and see if they give the turnaround times for each KIND of test.

See if you have a "Any Test Now " locations near you.  24 to 36 hours turn around. Also the email the results directly to you .

viral tests  .. i.e.   HIV , HSV 1 & 2  etc can be next day ..  bacterial  i.e..  syphilis, Trichomoniasis  etc can take 2 to 3 days  

i use  stdcheck  --  you dont have to provide an ID , so can keep it discreet with a "hobby name"

Go to stdcheck.com , you could even use a gift card to stay anonymous. Then you can pick a quest diagnostics lab in safeway, near you. If you go in the morning most likely, you will have your results the same day. And while you're getting your s t d screen , you can also do a regular blood draw to check your cholesterol and all that good stuff too. Typically, for a whole panel, it's about two hundred and fifty dollars

Ha you’re old enough to remember cooking pork to a char growing up.

Do they have their own in house lab? I had one like that in Phx and it was so convenient!

$149 for full panel HIV to chlamydia ..  add $95 if you want to include trichomoniasis   best deal and yes you can use Vanilla Visa Cards to pay and an anonymous name and Bday .... so most discreet and best value...  been using for years.
