Dr. James Ferguson answered

Hard to say: Some may have the specialized testing material at their office & some my not. A simple call to the office or a local urgent care facility could provide that information. It is not all that difficult to obtain the needed samples & they may do so at the office & send you to a separate testing lab to drop off the samples for study.
