Inmates: HIV testing.

Existing law authorizes, subject to specified procedures and restrictions, the medical testing of prisoners for HIV under certain circumstances. This bill would require the chief medical officer in every state prison, and the medical director of each state hospital housing patients sentenced pursuant to the Penal Code, for each inmate or patient to be incarcerated in or committed to that facility for more than one year, to offer testing for HIV at admission to the prison or facility and at least annually while the inmate or patient is incarcerated or committed, as specified.
