We test for both then will test only for the component that was positive in the source for follow up testing.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [MCOH-EH] BBP serial testing
Our company has performed both HIV and Hep C serial testing on HCW’s that had an exposure to source patient that was positive for either one of the diseases (or if source unknown/untested). I am curious if your facility tests for both
or just the component that the source patient was positive for. Example, Hep C positive source-do you test for both HIV and Hep C on HCW serial testing or just the Hep C?
Thank you,
