FAQ's for HIV Testing

What do I need?

Check with your lab's certification agency. Testing/documentation needed prior to reporting patient results vary by accrediting body and/or state. Requirements may include:
a) confirmation of enrollment in an approved PT program
b) 1 or 2 PT challenges
c) correlation studies containing a minimum number of previously tested patient or evaluation samples with known results
d) any combination of the above


What does WSLH PT offer?

(All our samples are compatible with Reveal, OraQuick and UniGold methods)

  •  Regularly Scheduled Proficiency Testing –

    Program HV for moderate complexity PT which requires 5 samples/event

    Program HVQA [waived PT configuration-3 liquid samples/event]. Please note: some certification agencies/states require enrollment in a 5 sample PT program even though the method in use is listed in the “waived” category.

    See our shipping schedule for date information.

  •  Off-schedule [“remedial”] PT –

    If your lab is required to complete 1 or 2 PT events prior to bringing this test on-line and can’t wait until the next scheduled PT shipment, we offer off-schedule PT which can be shipped within a week of receiving your order.

 
  •   Evaluation/correlation/training samples –

    VeriSamp product for Anti-HIV testing contains 6 samples. Each set is unique and comes with a sealed envelope listing the results for that set. Please note: these samples are NOT a substitute for proficiency testing.

How do I order?
