STD Testing

How long does it take to get results from an STD test? And if you have unprotected sex with someone that has an STD, how soon could you test positive?

Most STD test results are available in 1-2 days, but some take a week or more.  And the time depends to some extent on what lab your doctor used; lots of providers use out-of-town labs and specimen transport can add a day or two.

The time for a test to turn positive differs for the various STDs.  A gonorrhea test can be positive within 1-2 days of catching it, syphilis takes 3-4 weeks, chlamydia a week or so, and so on.
