FL H0321

Revises Florida law to distinguish between HIV testing in health care settings (hospitals, clinics, blood banks) and nonhealth care settings (community organizations, outreach programs), with different consent procedures for each.

In health care settings, requires oral or written notification that an HIV test is planned and that the person has the right to decline; allows general medical consent forms to cover HIV testing without a separate signature.

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

Expands exceptions to informed consent requirements for specific situations including sexually transmitted disease testing required by law, medical emergencies, research, autopsies, court orders, and occupational exposure to medical or nonmedical personnel.

Takes effect July 1, 2015, and updates cross-references in section 456.032 regarding occupational blood-borne infection presumptions.
