Ok, pediatrician had no idea as to the testing, as expected. Called
Quest and got to the point.

Turns out that the initial test was EIA and deemed positive(although
no number reported as is done, as I've read, with the method), and a
follow up IFA as negative.

Of course NOTHING on the report states that it was EIA as positive nor
do the report codes print so that you can cross reference it against
their report listing on their web site.
