Change in California HIV reporting leads gay center to post information about HIV testing.
With new legislation taking effect that shifts California's HIV case reporting from a codes-based system to a names-based method, officials at the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center are anticipating that many state residents will have questions about HIV antibody testing, particularly privacy concerns and whether anonymous testing is still possible. The center has posted answers to some of the most commonly asked questions on its Web site at www.LAGayCenter.org/hivtesting. The full text of the new HIV case reporting legislation, signed into law Monday by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, also is available on the site. (The Advocate)
