Herpes (HSV) Test Results Timeline for Reliable Diagnosis

Non-negative results undergo additional confirmation by a certified Medical Review Officer, which may extend the timeline. Delays can result from sample quality or shipping issues. Call (877) 731-6362 for details.
What is the typical herpes (HSV) test results timeline?
The typical herpes (HSV) test results timeline spans approximately 2 to 7 days from the time of specimen collection at the designated collection site. AMH Nationwide routes samples through five national lab networks including Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, Omega Labs, United States Drug Testing Labs, and ExperTox. Each lab processes specimens according to their protocols, influencing turnaround times within this range.
How does the herpes (HSV) test sample collection and processing affect the timeline?
AMH Nationwide provides the lab order and directs the requester to a nearby collection site. There is no online ordering option. Once the specimen is collected, it is shipped to one of the national lab networks for analysis. Shipping schedules and specimen handling impact the time before the lab begins testing.
What happens if the herpes (HSV) test results are non-negative?
Any non-negative herpes (HSV) test result undergoes review and confirmation by a certified Medical Review Officer (MRO). This step ensures accuracy and proper interpretation before final reporting. The confirmation process may add 1 to 3 days to the overall results timeline.
What factors can delay herpes (HSV) test results?
Several factors can extend the herpes (HSV) test results timeline beyond the typical 2 to 7 days:
Specimen quality issues requiring recollection
Delays in sample shipment due to logistics or weather
High testing volume at the lab network
Additional confirmatory testing for non-negative results
