HIV testing: It's probably just related to the test they use ad the logistics of lab review within the clinic. There are now tests that can give results in 15-30 minutes, but we still do a blood draw test in my clinic that takes a day or two.

Transportation: The testing takes about the same time, The variation is in time for transportation of sample and results. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine
