DO I NEED A DOCTOR'S REQUISITION FOR A SENSITIVE QUANTITATIVE ASSAY

Does anyone know if there is a clinic in upstate New York that will do a <5 quantitatie assay without a doctor's requisition or is this impossible?

Tx, as in thanks.

Im almost positive you will need an rx from some doctor perhaps the clinic doc but dont count on them being sophisticated enough to order the test u want

You might try to find (web search) for a quest diagnostics or lab corp lab outlet near you. Then, ask them the Rx requirements for the test in your state.

Re: my question above, I really meant <5 QUALITATIVE (not quantitative) assay.

I have actually learned the difference since joining the forum, just when I thought I was growing too stupid on treatment to learn anything!!!
