Rapid HIV and Syphilis Test

Syphilis and HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) are sexually transmitted diseases (STD),  also known as sexually transmitted infections (STI). Syphilis is a bacterial infection that can be treated with antibiotics. HIV is a viral infection that affects the immune system; if left untreated, it can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). Symptoms of STDs can vary, so it is possible to have one and not realize it. This is why STD testing is so important.

Typically, it takes days to receive STD test results. If you are concerned about HIV and Syphilis, Any Lab Test Now offers a faster testing option with results available in approximately 1 hour.

The Rapid HIV and Syphilis test is a quick way to screen for both HIV and syphilis with high sensitivity and specificity. This test works by detecting Treponema pallidum (which is the bacteria that causes syphilis), and antibodies to HIV. All it requires is a simple blood draw – screening results are available in approximately 1 hour.

Please note that this is a screening test, not a diagnostic test. This test will give a result of either “reactive” or “non-reactive” for both HIV and syphilis. All “reactive” test results will be confirmed through additional testing. This means that for “reactive” screens only, a blood sample will be sent out to an outside reference lab for diagnostic testing.

Test Details

This test includes:

  • Human Immunodeficiency Virus/HIV (HIV antibodies)

FAQs

Am I required to fast?

No, you are not required to fast prior to the test.

What kind of sample is required?

A blood sample is required for the test.

How long will it take to get my results?

The results of your screening test will be available in approximately 1 hour. Please note that for all “reactive” screens, a blood sample will be sent to an outside lab for confirmation testing. The results of this confirmation testing are typically available within 3-5 business days after the lab receives your sample.

If I have a “reactive” test result, will it be reported to the health department?

The requirements for reporting positive STD results to the local/state health departments vary from state to state. If you have a “reactive” rapid HIV or syphilis result, a blood sample will then be sent to an outside lab for diagnostic testing. Any potentially positive results will not be reported to the health department until after diagnostic confirmation.

Is a doctor’s order required?

Either we provide the doctor’s order for the lab test at no additional cost, or we accept your physician’s order.

If I have questions about my results, who should I contact?
