	  b.   	 All test results are reviewed by the director, or a qualified designee, prior to reporting.

	 11.29(2) Within seven days of the receipt of a person’s confirmed positive test result indicating HIV infection, the director of a blood plasma center, blood bank, clinical laboratory or public health laboratory that performed the test or that requested the confirmatory test shall make a report to the department on a form provided by the department. The report shall include:
	  a.   	 The person’s age, race, marital status and other information deemed necessary by the department for epidemiological purposes or as much of that information as the director may possess, but shall not include the person’s name or address without the written authorization of the person.
	  b.   	 The name, address and telephone number of the blood plasma center, blood bank, clinical laboratory or public health laboratory that performed or requested the test.
	  c.   	 The address of the physician or other health care practitioner that requested the test. This paragraph, however, shall not apply to a blood plasma center or blood bank.
Note:  Iowa Code requires the performance of a confirmatory test for any screening test result which is reactive. However, only confirmatory test results that are positive are to be reported to the department.
