Gonnorhea culture test..

[harte123]

hi guys.. does any one knows how long it takes to do a gonnorhea culture test ( the samples were taken from my throat using a swab)
does it take 2 days for the lab to run the test?
please help..

Had a quick discussion with Dallasfan and we were thinking of 2 different things, well I was thinking of something different then what he was saying. His answer is 100% correct.

I have to disagree with Dallasfan a little because if batch testing is done then it will take longer. For example my state's health dept will collect samples once a week and then sends them off to a lab. And you will not know the results for one-two weeks after the sample was given.

I think you have no reason to worry about the tests because you really had no risk.

thanks dallas...
and what do u think about hiv risk from cunnilingus and condom protected vaginal sex?

A culture for gonorrhea will take 2 to 3 days.

thanks vance..
coz.. i did oral sex on a woman.. the doctor ordered for hiv,gonno,chlamy, and herpes tests.
its been two days..
usually that lab give back the hiv results on the same day(if negative)
this time the say that they need 48 hours to run the tests i gave..
so i was worried that might be they are doing a westernblot for hiv.. :(
do u think the delay could be due to the gonnorhea culture test? please advise.. :(
