It depends on the type of test you are doing. Some HIV tests can get you the results in minutes. Other diseases, like Chlamydia, Herpes, and Syphilis take days to weeks longer for the result to be available depending on the source of the specimen submitted for testing.

Generally, plan on waiting two - three weeks for negative results. I do not mean that three weeks is your golden hour for a green light, but most places will quickly notify positives. If you do not hear from the clinic, be sure they have your correct contact information.

If you hear from the clinic sooner than a few days or within a week, you may be infected. This is because responsible clinic will need and want to inform the health department that an STD case is detected so everyone can be treated.

If the clinic is texting you or an ex has told you, or left you an online messages or voice messages, go get the results or retested and deal with it so you can be treated and have peace of mind. You can save yourself future medical problems and losses by seeking early intervention.

If you're being treated at an ER for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) you may be treated "presumptively" for gonorrhea (GC) and chlamydia (CT). These STDs are common culprits for sexually transmitted diseases that cause intrabdominal cramping or inflammation.

So your doctor may give you rapid monotherapy treatment for each condition that cures the common diseases, with a label of PID and will await the urine GC CT results. Unless you have an allergy to the drug component, most treatment will be safe and can cover other conditions or causative organisms which cause the STD symptoms

How can you sort the results from an sql statement?

You can sort the results of a query by using the order by clause. Ex: Select * from tbl_employee order by emp_num The above query would sort the results by the employee number and display them. The default sort is ascending order. Ex: Select * from tbl_employee order by emp_num desc The above query would sort the results by descending order of employee number and display them.


What would an example of a null and alternative hypothesis look like for a one right tail test with a rejection region at an alpha of 1 percent?

It depends on the statistical test that is being applied. Different tests have different critical values. For the sake of definiteness let's say that you plan to measure the IQs of 30 people using two different paper-and-pencil tests. In advance of your study you decided that the null hypothesis would be that there is no correlation between the two tests and that the alternative hypothesis would be that a positive correlation of the results of test B on those of test A would be accepted at level p=0.01 (or 1%). You proceed with your measurements and you make your correlation calculation. Meanwhile you have consulted the necessary tables to find that the critical value for the correlation statistic based on 30 points is 0.306. This means that you must accept the null hypothesis if the sample correlation coefficient is less than or equal to 0.306. You can accept the alternative if the sample statistic is greater than 0.306.

You have four negative tests and its been been 24 days since intercourse could you still be pregnant?

it would depend on what order the test results came in. if you had the positive tests fist then the negative then it could be you have had an early miscarrage. in which case you should see your doctor. if you had the negative tests first then the positive tests, then you more than likely are pregnant. in which case again see the doctor! it would be worth getting the doctor to run some bloods just to be on the safe side. i personally dont believe in a "false positive" result. unless its in the order as stated above.

How long does it take a doctor to determine pregnancy with a blood test?

Depends on where you go to get your blood done if you go to the hospital maybe only a couple hours and you would find out the next day, But if it was like a family doctor maybe two weeks.

Yes. It gives information as to where the person tested stands, how they are performing and an indication of what can be done to help, by pinpointing their weaknesses. It also prepares them for other tests they would undertake as practice.
