If you get tested for an std does the doctor have to tell you as soon as he gets the results?

I got tested for hsv 1 and 2 and a friend said that if it came back positive they would have to tell me when they got the results to prevent the possible spread to others. is this true? if tested for hiv wouldnt they have to tell me the results as soon as they got them?

If you tested positive for an STD yes they would have to notify you and prescribe medications as needed. If it is negative, they may or may not contact you.

I don't know that there is any specifically legislated time frame, but your doctor will try to contact you as soon as possible with the results, especially if they're positive.

If you get tested for any STDs the doctor will notify you as soon as they have the results, if they are positive. If the results are negative you will not be called at all.

GOOD LUCK
