Borderline test results don't automatically mean you are free of the disease. Contact any sexual partners so they can be treated. If you are uninfected and the test is positive, be aware that many uninfected people show false-positive results. You will be contacted by public-health authorities because this is a reportable disease. Time before results are reported to the doctor or patient varies from a few minutes to a few days.
Blood is non-reactive to the test procedure accomplished in the laboratory.
