I'm pregnant, and got blood work done at the doctors yesterday. How long till I get HIV results from Kaiser?

So, I have Kaiser Permanente insurance, and I'm pregnant. I got a bunch of blood drawn for the standard tests they give all women, including HIV. I hate getting tested for HIV because I always seem to stress out and somehow convince myself I have it, when I've always been fine. The nurse who took my blood said I would get a phone call from my doctor is anything was wrong, but that they won't call if I'm fine. About how many days do you think will go by before I can stop jumping out of my skin everytime the phone rings because I think it's the doctor calling me to tell me I'm dying. I know most of the time through clinics, it's 3 days. I dont know if it's the same with Kaiser, wondering if anyone else knows. I got my blood taken on Tuesday around noon, and went through today (Wedsenday) with no call. How much longer until I can stop freaking out about the phone????

If you have online with them, you can check there. that is where I check them. They should call you tomorrow. They don't normal call if they are good, they will send it in the mail to you. But If you don't have a account set up i think you should it. you can e-mail your doctor's and really know what your dx are and alot of other cool things. You can check ur lab results. Good luck hun, I think you are ok, I think they would call you by now if it was somthing more.
Reply:First of all, you did a great thing by getting all the testing done for the sake of your baby. As far as the HIV test, it really depends on how they process the test. If it's done locally with a rapid test your results should be the same or next day, if the blood sample was sent to a regular lab, it can take any where from 3 to 10 days depending where the lab is locate.





And in most states your HIV results should be given to you face to face. There are strict rules about your confidentiality.





Good Luck
Reply:Most likely if you are HIV positive you would be told in person. They did other tests also so they could be calling about anything. My other suggestions would be to call them if you are so nervous about it and just ask what results are back.


If you did find out you were HIV positive in America there is amazing care for you and your baby. The trick to not transmitting to your child is following the medical care that they tell you. The faster you learned about the HIV and were able to suppress the virus the less likely your baby would become infected.
