Question 1

how long do drug test results take?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the drug : And purpose of the test. Most drugs used in treatment of common illnesses are routinely tested by hospital labs and results are usually available in four hours or sooner. Tests done for medico-legal purposes require confirmation and may take a day or two. Uncommonly used drugs may need to be sent to a reference lab and take a few days.

Varies: Depends on the hospital and lab.  If they have to send it out, may take longer.  Should be less than a week

Question 5

how much time does a urine drug test results take for an employment?

Accepted Answer

That depends: Some employers use "point of care" (POC) testing, and this can be read within minutes of the test.  If it is all negative then the results are available within those few minutes. However, if one or more of the tests are positive, it is generally sent to the reference lab for confrimatory testing, and this can takes several days or even a week or more, depending on how busy the lab is.

Question 8

medical conditions such as hepatitis-c and cirrhosis of the liver can also cause inaccurate urine drug test results.

Question 9

many people have self reported to test positive for a urine drug test (like cocaine & meth) after having sex with their partner because drugs can transfer through semen and sweat. would thc also create positive test results even if they dont smoke?

Accepted Answer

Second hand smoke: Second hand smoke from weed is more likely to cause you to have a positive urine test for THC than any transmission through semen. I doubt the explanation of people blaming semen for positive drug test.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV vaccine.
