Why Choose AFC for COVID-19 Testing
COVID testing is an important service whether you’re vaccinated or not. Many people remain vulnerable to COVID-19, and if you’re feeling sick, you could be putting those around you at risk. AFC offers COVID testing right on-site, giving you quick results to let you know whether or not you have COVID-19. Furthermore, we also test for Flu A/B and strep, illnesses that produce similar symptoms, so even if you don't have COVID, we can get you the proper treatment.
The Process of Getting a COVID Test
Your AFC clinic will perform two different COVID tests: A Rapid COVID-19 Nucleic Acid Amplification Test and RT-PCR COVID-19 Test. You'll receive your rapid results on the spot and will get the results of the more comprehensive RT-PCR COVID-19 Test online within a few days.
We know that if you’re feeling sick, the last thing you need is to wait for an appointment, so feel free to walk right into your local AFC to request a test.
If it turns out that you do have COVID-19, our providers will set you up with a treatment plan that could include medication, plenty of fluids, rest, and of course, staying home.
What Is a Rapid PCR Test?
A Rapid PCR Test is a laboratory-quality COVID-19 test designed to identify an active infection by detecting the virus’s genetic material. PCR testing is widely recognized as the most accurate method for diagnosing COVID-19.
Unlike standard PCR tests that may take several days for results, a Rapid PCR Test delivers reliable results during your visit, allowing patients to get answers quickly without compromising accuracy.
This type of test is ideal for:
- Individuals experiencing COVID-19 symptoms
- Patients with known or suspected exposure
- Travel, employment, or school testing requirements
- Anyone needing fast, dependable results

AFC Urgent Care FAQs
-
What types of COVID-19 tests are offered at AFC Suffolk?
We provide both a Rapid COVID-19 Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) for quick results and a RT-PCR COVID-19 Test for the most accurate diagnosis. Rapid results are given during your visit, and PCR results are available online within a few days.
-
Why does AFC provide two different COVID tests?
We offer a rapid test because they provide highly reliable results on the spot; however, they do produce more false negatives than the RT-PCR COVID-19 Test. Doing both tests is our way of ensuring that you get the most accurate results possible without having to put your life on hold.
-
How long does it take to get a COVID test?
We're able to get many patients in and out in a matter of minutes, but the length of time you'll spend in our clinic will depend on wait times that day.
-
How much does it cost to get a COVID test?
That will ultimately depend on your insurance coverage. Presently, many people with insurance are able to get tested at no charge. If you’re uninsured, AFC’s cash pay prices are highly competitive – contact us for the details.
-
How soon will I get my COVID-19 test results?
Rapid test results are typically available right away during your visit. RT-PCR test results usually take a few days and can be accessed securely online.
-
Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?
Walk-in testing is welcome! You can also schedule your test online to save time when you arrive.
Don't wait to get the medical attention you need.
