[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not PP but just go to OB-GYN on your lunch break tomorrow or Friday. I'm pretty sure with modern technology they prick your finger and you get your answer a minute later. [/quote] Why give incorrect information?? If you go to the doctor they will draw blood and it will take several days to get results from the lab. If you do the home test or go to Whitman Walker Clinic in DC you will get a saliva test that will give you results in 20 minutes. If OP is very anxious, she should get the home test ASAP. [/quote] It's not incorrect lol. There is a rapid test called Institest. They prick your finger and it takes a minute.[/quote] Yes, but that test is generally not used in gyn or primary care clinics. I've gotten tested regularly for over 20 years. Every time it is done at the doctor it is always a blood test through the lab The only time I have had a rapid saliva or blood test done are the times I went to Whian Walker which specializes in HIV testing particularly in high risk populations. In those kinds of clinic settings, rapid tests are used because patients may not return for results and the tests are often anonymous. That's just not the way things work in a usual gyn or primary care setting where they are not seeing many high risk patients.[/quote]
