Our urologists share their clinical experience with peers.
Quick answer: At HIGHST Urology Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, results from rapid tests, such as rapid HIV screening, can be available the same day where available. PCR tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomonas and mycoplasma take longer, and those results are sent privately by message or shared in person. Exact timing varies by test, so your urologist tells you when to expect each result.

Rapid vs PCR

Why are some results faster than others?

Speed and detail are different strengths. Many people benefit from both.

Rapid tests

Designed to give a quick answer during the visit.

  • Same-day result where available
  • Useful as a first screen
  • Some results need lab confirmation

PCR tests

Detect the genetic material of the infection.

  • Several infections from one sample
  • More reliable than culture
  • Results follow and are sent privately
Getting results privately

How will I receive my results?

Results are shared only with you.

  • Rapid results are explained in person during your visit
  • PCR results are sent by private message or shared in person
  • Choose your channel: WhatsApp or KakaoTalk
  • A urologist explains what a positive or negative result means
  • If treatment is needed, prescriptions or injections are given on site
  • Ask for a re-test date if your exposure was recent
A fast negative result only covers infections the test can detect at that point in time. If your exposure was recent, a follow-up test may still be advised.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I get all my STD results on the same day?

Not usually. Rapid tests, such as rapid HIV screening, can give a result during your visit where available. PCR tests for infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea take longer, and those results are sent to you privately. Your urologist tells you which results to expect on the day and which will follow.

Is a rapid HIV test result final?

A rapid HIV test is a screening test. A reactive result needs a confirmatory lab test before any diagnosis is made. A non-reactive result may also need repeating if your exposure was recent, because HIV tests have a window period. Your urologist explains what your result means and what to do next.

How will you send me PCR results if I am a tourist?

PCR results are sent by private message on the channel you choose, such as WhatsApp or KakaoTalk, so you can receive them even after leaving Seoul. Results are shared only with you. If treatment is needed, your urologist advises on the next steps.

Can I start treatment before PCR results come back?

Sometimes. If you have clear symptoms, your urologist may recommend starting treatment during the visit based on the examination, then adjusting once PCR results arrive. This is a medical judgement made case by case, so discuss it during your consultation.

Why not just use rapid tests for everything?

Rapid tests are not available for every infection, and PCR can detect several infections from one sample with high reliability. For conditions like urethritis, PCR helps identify the actual cause, such as chlamydia, mycoplasma or trichomonas, so treatment can be targeted.

Does a same-day negative mean I am clear?

Only for the infections tested and for the point in time of the test. If the possible exposure was very recent, some infections may not show yet. Your urologist may suggest a re-test after the usual testing window has passed.
