Test Results & Treatment
Test results are available in 7 to 10 days and often sooner. Our staff will review your results with you (positive or negative).
If you test positive for an STI, treatment is available. Many STIs can be treated with antibiotics. If you test positive for HIV, we will help you connect to local HIV test resources for appropriate care and support.
- Tell your sex partner(s) that you have tested positive. If you need assistance with partner notification, Washtenaw County Health Department can help. Partner notification is done to connect individuals to testing and treatment, to provide accurate information about any potential infections and to prevent additional transmission. Confidentially is maintained.
- If you have to take medication, be sure to take all of it.
- If you are dealing with an ongoing infection like HIV, treatment and support services are available. See Resources for People Living with HIV for local options.
- If this is your first exam, see "For youth - what to expect at your first sexual health exam."
- See also Your HIV Test Results.
Partner Notification
Partner notification services are available to help individuals diagnosed with HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases provide information to their partner or partners. When someone is diagnosed with HIV or another sexually transmitted disease (STD), their sexual partner or partners also need accurate information, testing and support.
To request partner notification for STIs and HIV please contact Hope Delecke. For more information, please see our Partner Notification page.
