Summary | Delete original provisions of the bill; amend KRS 214.181 to establish new legislative finding stating that knowledge of HIV status is increasingly important for all persons, since treatment using antiretroviral medications can slow disease progression, prolong and improve the lives of HIV-positive individuals, and reduce the likelihood of perinatal mother-to-child transmission; and establish guidelines for the disclosure to patients of the results from HIV rapid tests. |
