FL S1470

Establishes two distinct categories for HIV testing settings with different consent procedures: "health care settings" (hospitals, clinics, county health departments) requiring notification, and "nonhealth care settings" (community-based organizations, outreach programs) requiring full informed consent.

In health care settings, providers must notify patients the test is planned, provide information about the test, and advise patients of their right to decline, rather than obtaining formal informed consent; if a patient declines, this must be noted in the medical record.

In nonhealth care settings, providers must obtain informed consent preceded by explanation of confidentiality rights and notification that positive results will be reported to the county health department.

Updates definitions of HIV testing terminology, including "preliminary HIV test" to reference newer immunoassay tests and rapid FDA-approved tests, and clarifies definitions of "significant exposure" for medical personnel.

Revises registration requirements for HIV testing programs to specify that health care setting programs must meet notification criteria in subsection (2)(a)1, while nonhealth care setting programs must meet informed consent criteria in subsection (2)(a)2; effective July 1, 2014.
