by the medical community to make diagnoses, most hospitals have to
utilize outside laboratories as it is too cost-prohibitive to
provide all tests on site. Contra Costa County has used the
services of outside laboratories for over twenty-five years.

significant increase in HIV test volume, and IDL is one of the few
laboratories in the country which specializes in HIV testing.

Contract #26-266 with IDL for the period from May 1, 1994 through .
April 30, 1996 for the provision of outside clinic laboratory
