I have read and agree to the Terms and Conditions for HIV Testing Consent (only applies when ordering an HIV test)
The purpose of this form is to document that I have requested that a blood test for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is to be performed. The blood test(s) are used to detect HIV antibody or DNA. HIV is the cause of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). I understand that the test is performed by drawing blood from the arm and processing the resulting blood specimen by either ELISA, Western Blot or other laboratory technology. I have been informed that the tests can produce false positive and false negative results. For HIV, antibody testing, the ELISA screening test produces three false "positive" (indicating the presence of anti-HIV when it is not present) test results in every 10,000 specimens processed, regardless of population tested. Also, I have been informed that, if positive, the ELISA test will be repeated, and if still positive, a secondary level test (Western Blot) will then be performed. The combination of these two tests reduces the possibility of a false positive HIV antibody result to a very small fraction per 10,000 tests processed. I have been informed that the ELISA screening test fails to detect anti-HIV for a period of time immediately after infection with the virus. I have the opportunity of re-testing, if I so desire, if it is suspected that this has occurred. The ELISA screening test may fail to detect anti-HIV in rare cases. This has been explained to me in language that I understand: the nature of the blood test, it's expected benefits, it's risks, and alternative tests. The results of the HIV test will become part of my medical record by law. The confidentiality of my medical record will be maintained. However, I understand that my physicians or other health care provider may ask to see the results for medical reasons. I understand that positive test results must be reported to the appropriate State Health Division by Quest™ Diagnostic Laboratories. Confirmed HIV antibody test results will be made available (except as noted above) only in summary or statistical form in such a way as to preserve my confidentiality. I have read the previous information and I understand it. By checking the box on the order form, I acknowledge that I have been given all of the information that I have requested concerning the blood test(s) and the release of results. I acknowledge that I have given my consent for the performance of laboratory tests and/or an HIV blood test, and the release of the results as described above. I have read and agree to the Terms and Conditions for HPV Testing Consent (only applies when ordering a Pap smear) The purpose of this form is to document that I have requested that the following tests be performed: a cytology test for cervical disease (including Pap smear, and DNA test for the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and a DNA test for STDs (sexually transmitted diseases)) that can include chlamydia and gonorrhea. The cytology test(s) are used to detect HPV DNA, STD infections and/or changes from normal cervical cells. (HPV is thought to be the cause of cervical cancer). I understand that the test is performed by swabbing the upper vagina and cervix and immediately swirling the brush in the cytology fluid. The resulting cytological fluid specimen will be processed by DNA analysis and other laboratory technology. The medical literature suggests that more consistent results are an associated with genotyping for HPV 16 and HPV 18 DNA in addition to ThinPrep™ cytology.
I have been informed that the tests can produce false positive and false negative results. For HPV, STD and cytology screening, the tests may produce false "positive" (indicating the presence of HPV, STD or abnormal cervical cells when not present). Also, I have been informed that, if positive or abnormal, the HPV, STD and/or Pap test will need to be repeated by my physician, and treated. There is an additional level of standard testing or treatment, which includes vaginal and pelvic examination, cultures for STD and colposcopy and biopsy for abnormal cervical cytology. These tests will then need to be performed by the physician/ healthcare provider you have consulted. As a part of a national study, you are encouraged to complete and return the form that will need copies of your previous Pap smear, this Pap smear and the subsequent (next) Pap smear, cultures and treatments (healthcare professional’s notes or office visits). You understand that the reviewer will not and cannot recommend any direction of treatment: the records are sealed for retrospective analysis. All treatments remain entirely under the care of your primary physician with whom you should share the PAP smear results.
This has been explained to me in language that I understand: the nature of the tests, their expected benefits, its risks, and standard tests. I realize that these HPV, STD and cytology Pap smear testing are in addition to routine gynecologic examinations and does not replace healthcare services by licensed professionals.
I have read the previous information and I understand it. By checking the box on the order form, I acknowledge that I have been given all of the information that I have requested concerning the Pap test(s) and the follow up I must do to review the results with my physician.
I acknowledge that I have given my consent for the performance of HPV, STD and cytology Pap smear test, and the needed follow up thereafter.
