The Admissions Office carries out the following activities:
1. Acceptance of primary HIV-positive blood samples for reference examination in other institutions, with the exception of institutions outside the system of the Ministry of Private and Health.
2. Acceptance of blood samples supplied from 5 districts of Baku (Garadagh, Binagadi, Yasamal, Sabail, Nasimi) for preliminary screening by the order of the Ministry of Health dated 11.03.2011.
3. Reception of citizens applying for an examination certificate and an international certificate, taking blood samples for examination.
4. Periodic HIV testing of employees working in occupations where HIV-infected people are not allowed to work.
5. Reception of citizens applying for testing for the purpose of studying the status of HIV anonymously (anonymous examination room).
In all cases, the taken blood samples are checked for appearance (appearance, separation from serum, hemolysis condition, completeness of packaging, coding) in terms of suitability for examination, and if they do not meet the requirements for transportation, they are recorded and disposed of. A copy of the acts shall be provided to the supplier upon his next visit.
Blood samples collected from three sources (institutions, visual applications, anonymous examination room) are entered into a computer database in the registration rooms where they are received, coded and submitted to the laboratory for examination every 30 minutes together with the accompanying documents.
When the results of the examination are delivered from the laboratory to the admission department:
• The answer to the positive samples received from the enterprise is sent to the head of the supplier in an envelope, signed and stamped by the head of the enterprise. Negative results are recorded in the second part of the shipment, signed by management, stamped and returned to the supplier.
• If the results of blood samples taken for visual documentation are HIV-positive, they are verbally informed and it is recommended that the person contact the epidemiological surveillance and prevention department for an epidemiological study. Acceptance or rejection of a recommendation is voluntary. Examination results for negative results are provided to each applicant on the basis of the receipt received.
• The results of the screening of the applicant to the anonymous examination room are announced during the consultation, and if positive, it is recommended to apply to the epidemiological surveillance department for investigation.
