In the UK they will text negative results and they will disclose any results over the phone.

Here they say if you don't hear from them in two weeks everything is negative.

I called in for the 58 day results, the HIV and Hep were neg but there was a problem with Syph.it was delayed or took longer or something. Called in today in case they phoned when my battery was flat and that was Neg.

All the appointments for results here are after 4pm. If someone gets a positive that's not much time for post result counselling seeing as the place shuts at 5.

Do something to occupy your mind  for a while or go shop for something then go and get your results. Let us know and good luck.

If you are unable to wait then you should try to call them. No one here knows what that testing center policy is regarding to notifying about test results. Good luck.
