We checked into doing this, but the cost of is $400.00 per test.

We are not able to do this at this time due to the cost.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Zika and body fluid exposures

List,
I know this question was posed previously and wanted to circle back. Does anyone have any thoughts regarding screening source patients for possible Zika exposure, in addition to the usual testing for blood-borne pathogens?
Is anyone doing any testing in this regard? Taking a travel history from the source?

Thank you for your comments!
