Understanding Zika Virus Test Results

Reporting Test Results

When CDC performs testing, results will typically be sent to the state or local health department within 3 weeks after specimen receipt. Reporting times for test results may be longer during summer months or when arbovirus activity increases. Turnaround time on tissue specimens will vary, depending on testing volume and type of testing required.

  • CDC sends all test results to the appropriate state or local health department.
  • State or local health departments report test results to doctors.
  • Doctors report test results to patients.
