As a healthcare professional with expertise in sexual health, I can provide you with information on the timeline for receiving results from an STI test. The time it takes to get results from an STI test can vary depending on the specific test and the laboratory processing time. However, **test results normally take about one week**.

This process is known as contact tracing and is a key part of controlling the spread of STIs. read more >>
