Tuesday i was tested for strep but it came back neg. they did 2 swabs at a time. how long does it take to get the results of a culture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few days: With a negative rapid strep test, probably the culture will also be negative for strep. Culture results typically take 2-5 days.
