No Response from Rapid Test - Worried

Hi, folks,  I went to a Labcorps center last Thursday afternoon after signing up with stdalert.com for a panel of 10 tests that included all stds.. They advertise fast results in 24-48 hours with a report sent by email.  However, I have not heard anything and am very nervous. They say that if a test is positive they will call and arrange for a consult with a doctor.  I have not received an email or a call. I did send an email asking if I should be worried about the delay, but have not heard back. Now I have convinced myself that I am HIV positive as I wait,imagining that on a weekend they are having trouble lining up a doctor to speak with me and therefore will be contacting me tomorrow (Monday).  I could use some advice and perspective.

I was last tested for hiv 3 years ago and was negative.  Since that time I have had several encounters with transexuals always wearing a condom(I have been top only) but have had unprotected oral, both ways, but no cum in my mouth. Thanks for listening to my anxiety.

Hi, RainLover.  Of all things, I just got an email from the testing service-- on a Sunday evening!  Negative on everything except Herpes 1, which I guess half the population has.  In any case, I wanted to close the loop and to thank you for reaching out and providing words of advice and calm.

I assume they would be.Monday is the day you will find out,just relax,sometimes they have many samples to test and it takes longer to get results out.

Before I signed up for the test I chatted online with what they call a service representative and asked if results would be available on Saturday if they did not arrive on Friday, and the person responded "yes."
