Additional tests may be preformed at the discretion of the collection facility, such as Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antibody screening, Hepatitis B Nucleic Acid Testing (PCR) and T. Cruzi antibodies (Chagas' Disease).
If any test is repeat reactive, it must be further tested using a licensed confirmatory test, if one exists. FDA guidelines also require that all blood collection facilities notify the donor of any unexpected screening test results within eight weeks of donation. However, most will notify within 4 weeks, usually by USPS 1st Class mail (or certified/restricted delivery if specified).
