Flu Testing Procedure

What to expect during your influenza test

When you come to TTS for your drive-thru flu test, our highly trained medical professionals obtain a sample through a nasal or throat swab. They immediately analyze the swab with state-of-the-art technology for a diagnosis on the spot. Standard PCR flu tests usually take 24 to 48 hours to obtain results.

What type of flu tests does TTS offer?

We offer a range of flu testing solutions that you can choose from:

Rapid Influenza Diagnostic Tests

Rapid influenza diagnostic tests (RIDTs) provide results in approximately 15 minutes, although you may still have flu even if you have a negative rapid test result.

Rapid Molecular Assay Test

We also offer rapid molecular assays that detect genetic material from the flu virus. The rapid molecular assay delivers results in 15 to 20 minutes and is considered more accurate than RIDTs.

RT-PCR Test

We also offer the standard RT-PCR flu test, which you send back to our lab partners. They analyze the sample and return the results within a few hours.

What if my flu test results come back positive?

We offer telehealth consultations at Total Testing Solutions for individuals that test positive for the flu. While the flu does not have a cure, antiviral drugs may be an option. Afflicted individuals should limit contact with others and remain home for at least 24 hours after the fever breaks or until symptoms clear up. Bed rest, drinking plenty of water, pain relievers, and fever-reducing medications can alleviate symptoms. Be sure to wash your hands regularly and cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing to avoid spreading the flu to others.

FAQs

When and how will I receive my test results?

Our turnaround time is one of the fastest in the industry. We have an extensive network of testing professionals, labs, and medical partners. Most patients receive their results in a few hours with the RT-PCR Test or 15 minutes with our rapid flu tests.

Is there an at-home test available?

We offer concierge in-home testing with highly trained medical professionals or a home test that you can mail to our lab using a prepaid label. If sent before noon, our lab partners will receive your test kit the next day and send you the results.

Is the flu deadly?

The CDC reports that up to 52,000 flu deaths occurred between 2010 and 2020.

Who has the highest risk of death from the flu?

Seniors, young children, pregnant women, and those with health conditions such as diabetes, asthma, and heart disease have a higher risk of flu-related complications that can lead to mortality in some cases.

Is there a flu vaccine?

Studies show the flu vaccine lowers the risk of seasonal flu by approximately 40 percent, saving lives and keeping our community safer. You should have a flu shot annually, ideally just before the flu season begins.

Can I get the flu even if I’m vaccinated?

Yes. The annual flu vaccine protects against the main flu strains that spread that year. There are many flu viruses, and the vaccine does not guard against all of them.

What is the minimum age for the flu vaccine?

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) urges Americans older than six months to get the flu vaccine annually.

Can I get the flu from pigs?

Pigs can carry swine influenza. While rare, the CDC reports that humans can contract some strains from exposure to affected pigs. Transmission typically occurs while attending agricultural fairs, which usually take place in summer and fall.

What are some common flu symptoms?

It usually takes three to four days for flu symptoms to begin after inoculation. Signs of the flu include headache, fever, sore throat, muscle aches, cough, chills, fatigue, and a stuffy or runny nose. Not all symptoms need to be present.
