SB 858 - This act changes the statutes pertaining to HIV
testing. It would allow laboratory tests to detect the presence
of the HIV infection in blood and other biological specimens
taken from an individual. It would also require medical care
providers to report all persons diagnosed with the HIV infection
to the Department of Health regardless of how the diagnosis is
determined.
