Patient ID/Chart Number is for use with your records – you should also complete this box if you have to assign the client a unique identifier other than DOB.

Non-Rapid Specimen Information x • Fill out this section for non-rapid testing • Identify the specimen source being submitted • Specimens that fall into the “other” category – check with lab to make sure they can process

Non-Rapid Tests Requested x x 090200000 • Confirmation of preliminary positive (EIA and western blot regardless of EIA result). • If the rapid testing was done at a separate encounter, if possible, indicate the form ID for that rapid test by indicating the previous test form ID on the line next to this selection. • If the rapid test was done the same encounter or if previous test form ID is not known, leave the line blank. • Follow-up of invalid rapid test (EIA and western blot if needed). • If other is selected indicate preferred test. Confirm with lab prior to ordering.

Test History Common Error Alert: Remember to record responses for “Previous HIV Testing”, if client answers “Yes” record appropriate response for “last test was”. In addition, if client answers yes, attempt to record previous testing date. x x x • Ask client and indicate whether or not a previous HIV test was conducted and the result of that test if known • Indicate month (mm) and year (yyyy) of known previous test.

Labels • Each form will have 10 labels • 8 with just the form ID • 2 with both the form ID and an extra line for the 2nd identifier • Use one of the labels with extra line, write the 2nd identifier & place on the specimen prior to submitting • If your specimen doesn’t have a second identifier, it will NOT be processed.

Patient Identifier • Needs to be unique • The lab suggests that sites implement a patient ID number that is composed of the date and the order of the client • For example, the patient ID for forth client seen on 12/31/2008 could be listed as 12310804 • You may use a different formula to develop an identifier but, be sure that the identifier is unique

Documenting Informed Consent • Oregon ORSs require that non licensed health care providers/non licensed health care facilities document informed consent. • Model consent form can be found on the web: http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/ph/hiv/informedconsent.shtml

Special Scenarios

Use one form for both tests. Fill out: Non-rapid specimen information Non-rapid tests requested Rapid Testing Rapid test with non-rapid same day confirmatory test

Confidential Test Anonymous Test Confidential rapid test followed by an anonymous non-rapid confirmatory • You will need to use two forms: 1-Confidential test 1-Anonymous • Place the rapid test form ID (test #) from the confidential form on the line “’confirm. of prelim. pos. rapid” located in the non-rapid test requested section of the anonymous form. • Risk/exposures information must be reported either on the anonymous form or the confidential form, not both.
