CET Screens for Hep Source: PR 101
Cutting Edge TestingCutting Edge Testing declares Hepatitis Awareness Month. They decided to start today and extended it for a month and a half. So from June 14, through July 31, Cutting Edge Testing will be screening for Hepatitis Bs Antigen and Hepatitis C Antibody to be included with the regular talent panel at no additional charge.
Also, because of the need to understand the consequences of a positive test if one should arise, there is a physician on site at Cutting Edge Testing to discuss these findings with talent.
Performers needing to be tested are asked to call the CET main office in Sherman Oaks at 818-386-2132 to find the closest draw station near you. So far there are draw stations in Phoenix AZ, Seattle WA, Orlando FL, and many others places around the country. There will normally be a 48 hour turn around for testing at these draw stations.
The main Sherman Oaks office has a 24 hour turn around and a physician is on site at the Sherman Oaks location.
Cutting Edge Testing offers the FDA approved Aptima HIV testing which is APHSS approved. This is the new accepted “Industry Standard” test package (urine gonorrhea, chlamydia, Treponema Pallidum Antibodies (trep sure syphilis) and Aptima HIV testing) with Hepatitis Bs Antigen and C Antibody screening starting June 14 and ending July 31.
Both Hepatitis Bs Antigen and Hepatitis C antibody will be screened even though Hepatitis C is very rarely transmitted through sexual contact. The regular panel is still the same price and includes screening for Hepatitis Bs Antigen and Hepatitis C Antibody at no additional cost.
