Do patients need to provide written informed consent every time a viral load test is ordered?
No. The new consolidated, comprehensive Informed Consent form includes viral load tests. Consequently, someone signing the new Informed Consent form is providing consent for viral load tests. Further, the NYSDOH recognizes that it is not the practice now to obtain written consent just for viral load tests and NYSDOH has no plan to require persons already in care and continuing to be monitored via viral load tests, to sign written Informed Consent forms.
