Anyone know what my best options are or what I should do next besides look for another job obviously? I have it in my termination letter the exact reason stating me not getting a test. Virginia is my state.

Virginia is an at-will employment state.
This means you cannot sue for this reason. Sorry.
Basically in at will states you have to proove civil rights violation (age, gender, race, religion).
Youd have to tie the refusal to test to religious cause? Probably a huge stretch to just make up that beleif after the fact.
Not a laywer, not legal advice.
It’s a health privacy issue. The employer cannot ask an employee to get a pregnancy test, STD test, test for diabetes, or any other damned test and could be sued for asking . This should be no different and isn’t. It’s the same thing.
There is a possibility that this falls under a religious civil rights issue.
