How long for results on IL28B test?

I had my IL28B test 8 weeks ago in my trial and they are still not back yet.  I inquired about this and was told that they send them out in batches.  I asked again today about it.  How long does this test generally take to be done and get back to the doctor.  Can some of you who have had it done tell me what you experienced.  The results the Phenotype/IL28B is not blinded to me in this trial, only the viral loads are, I asked about that, so that's not the issue.  I am just really curious as to whether or not I am a TT allele, a CC allele, or whatever.  My Dr. said he's about 99% sure that it will come back that I am a TT pheno.

When I called them they said about a week. These things can change over time too.
The TMA viral load test I usually run , now takes 3-4 days and took 1.5 weeks
a year ago.
