What does Oral Fluid Screening mean?

Commonly referred to as the "mirror of the body," Saliva is a vital substance that carries molecules, many bio markers of disease, evidence of drug use and many other indicators (known and unknown) of what is happening inside the human body. The United States Food and Drug Administration long ago approved saliva to be used in testing for HIV-1 or HIV-2 infection. Hormones and other commonly measured compounds are typically analyzed from saliva as opposed to blood. Most compounds found in blood are also found in saliva. Its acceptance therefore as a testing medium is unquestioned as well as easier and cheaper to collect, since it doesn't expose health-care workers to bloodborne diseases.
