A common question from those who need to test for sexually transmitted infections is “ how long does it take to get STD results back from a clinic?” The fact that you’re looking to get tested is a great start! Unfortunately, the answer to this question may deter some people from following through with a clinic test.

How Long Does it Take to Get STD Results Back From a Clinic?

The truth is, this answer can vary from “several days” to “you may never get your results at all”!  The fact remains, most clinics will only contact you with results if your results are positive.  You may be perfectly healthy but still be a nervous wreck as you wait for answers that will never come.

All of that said, it is still incredibly important that you be tested on a regular basis.
