A member asked:
Me and my boyfriend got tested for herpes within a day of each other. he got his results 3 days after and it took mine 3 weeks. is this normal timing?

Different labs?: If they both were blood tests, my guess is the specimens went to different laboratories. Or maybe one of them required special testing because of initially atypial results. If you're the same person who asked about discrepant results -- positive in one of you and negative in the other -- the difference in time to results makes no difference.
