For HIV specimens, the results of the screen can usually be obtained by telephone the day after we receive the specimen. Results from the confirmatory test (Western Blot) take 3-4 days. For Syphilis specimens, the screen results are available the day after we receive the specimens, and the confirmatory test results may take 2-5 days depending on the testing required.
