When a doctor says it will take 7-10 days for a std uirne test to come back does that mean working days or 7-10 days straight?

Straight: Depends on what test it is exactly but 7-10 days total most likely.

Total: Straight, I guess. That is a lot of time for a culture that usually takes 3 days. Sometimes the samples are sent to reference labs far away and that adds to actual time.
