Shanghai Disease Control Center normally choose rapid HIV test for the local citizen who are looking for the testing service in Shanghai. This kind of HIV test only needs 20mins to get the result back. If the result is negative, then no more further test required. For any suspected case, Shanghai district level CDC will pass the case to City level CDC for further investigation, that means more deeper research will be done on your blood sample and the results will be back around one week. For expat patient, you can choose international hospital to accept the test; normally you should pay consultation fees + testing fees. In fact, your blood sample will also be transfer to CDC to do the test, so normally both rapid HIV test and further HIV test will need one week to get the result back. If you prefer test HIV status by you self, the third opinion for you is to choose self HIV test kits, Sinoaid Shanghai provide both Blood and Oral HIV home test kits for your needs. for more details, please send your email to This email address is being protected from spambots.
