HIV in schools, NEW information today.

Just recently (within the last two weeks) I posted a message asking
everyone how they felt in regards to HIV reporting in schools today
and I wanted to share an article that I read in the paper today
regarding this very topic... HIV is still not required to be reported
but a teacher may now ask for a student to take a blood test if the
teacher or people involved have come in contact with the blood and
there was a venue that blood could have entered another person. Here
is the link, check it out...

They can ask but I doubt they can force it. That usually requires a court order.

Supposedly, teachers are going to have the same rights nurses, medical
staff have, etc.

...and pupils? Does it work both ways?

I honestly don't know that information. I assume they will not have
those rights... if I find out more information, I'll be sure to post
it.

It is not clear that those groups can force anyone to take a
test either.

AFAIK, in NY, an HIV test cannot be forced, period. I suspect that this is
true in most states.

I think you are very right in saying that. I believe Wisconsin is one
of the first states to pass this sort of law.
