Infectious disease testing covers lab tests for a range of infections, including HIV and other viral and bacterial organisms. It allows a person to order specific testing without needing a doctor's referral beforehand, and results are kept confidential. People may seek infectious disease testing after a possible exposure, when they have symptoms, or as part of routine health screening. The exact tests included depend on the panel chosen. Because different infections have different detection windows, a healthcare provider can help interpret results and advise whether repeat testing is appropriate.

• HIV-1/2 antigen/antibody Screens for HIV infection using antigen and antibody detection.
• Zika virus IgM Detects antibodies that may indicate recent Zika virus infection.
• Zika virus IgG Detects antibodies that may indicate past Zika virus exposure.

• People with a possible exposure to an infectious disease
• Individuals with symptoms that suggest an infection
• Those who want routine confidential screening
• People whose healthcare provider recommends testing after travel or exposure
• Individuals who want to order testing without a separate referral visit

• No fasting is required for most infectious disease blood tests
• A standard blood draw is typically used to collect the sample
• Tell the lab about any symptoms, exposures, or medications relevant to your testing
• Follow any specific instructions supplied with the test you order

Results depend on which infectious disease tests are included. A negative result generally means the specific marker was not detected, while a positive result may indicate exposure or an active infection. Detection windows differ by organism, so a test performed too soon after an exposure can miss an infection and repeat testing may be recommended. Because these tests are screening tools, discuss all results with a healthcare provider before drawing conclusions or making decisions.
