how long does it take to get my hiv blood test results
How long do results take? Rapid HIV tests can give results in 15â60 minutes, or on the same day. âRapidâ refers for the time taken for the results and not the time since exposure that a test can be used. If samples are being sent to another lab, results can take a few days or a few weeks. Rapid blood tests put a pin-prick of blood on a testing strip. This test takes about 15-20 minutes so you can get the results whilst you wait. Some rapid tests also work on oral samples rather than blood.
