HIV Test Result

I went for a HIV test 8 days ago, 1st August, to a NHS gum clinic in the UK, I'm just wondering how long does it normally take for the results to come back?

Is it normal to wait this long or should I make contact with the clinic to see if my results are there?

Thanks,

T

The times will vary.  They usually send HIV tests out in batches, so it would depend on when the test was actually sent out.

You can always call the clinic and ask them.
