I have a question regarding the test facilities themselves. I have a few job offers and all of them require me to pass a drug test.
My question is twofold:

1. Are test results saved for future reference? What I am asking, really, is in case I come out positive (dirty sample) for any reason after taking the test for employer A will they keep those results on file, and if so, will they notify employer B when I come back to take it again?

2. If I successfully pass my test, will I be able to give those results to all employers in a small time frame (For instance, a week after the results)?

I am new to the United States and I am still getting used to the fact that they even drug test for employment here. I really don't know how it works and the whole system is completely foreign to me (not just the drug testing, but the entire job application process).

I would appreciate answers based on experience or knowledge, guesstimations will not be very helpful.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post, and answering my questions.

1) Record of a drug test (particularly in the pre-employment category) is regulated to some extent under provisions of ADA and EEOC. That is what can be tested for and when.

See ENFORCEMENT GUIDANCE: DISABILITY-RELATED INQUIRIES AND MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS OF EMPLOYEES UNDER THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) and
EEOC, Laws, Regulations & Guidance > Prohibited Practices:

2) Test results from one employer will not and cannot be used by another (positive or negative). The results may be communicated to that employer alone.
