Routine test takes a few days. There's a point of care test with turn around time of 1-4 hours.
Depending on the lab, one to seven days.
Depending on where you get the blood drawn, it could take anywhere from about one day to perhaps a week at the longest. Usually, results come back within 1-3 days. If you are at all concerned that you might be HIV infected or that you might have been exposed to HIV, please go get tested as soon as you can.
