Picking the right site for HIV testing

A quiet laboratory, late at night. A laboratory director stares into a computer screen, poring over an Excel spreadsheet, weighing the factors for & against bringing HIV testing in-house—cost, reimbursement, volume, technical staff, training, turnaround time, quality control, choosing an assay, satisfying clinicians. Our perplexed laboratorian stands & paces, muttering. We can just make out the words:

“To test or not to test:
that is the question:
Whether ’tis bolder
with our time to offer
The type & titer
of infectious virus,
Or to withdraw
before this sea of troubles,
And by outsourcing
end them?”
