Section 367.10 - Education of clients and protection of contacts

(a) All clients shall, where feasible, be provided with written literature describing the transmission of HIV infection and preventive measures to minimize the risk of transmission.

(b) All clients shall be counseled to avoid behavior that creates a significant risk of contracting or transmitting HIV infection.

(c) All clients with a confirmed diagnosis of AIDS or HIV infection shall be urged to inform their contacts.

(d) If after urging a client with a confirmed diagnosis of AIDS or HIV infection to inform a contact, the probation officer reasonably believes there is a significant risk of infection to the contact and that the client will not inform the contact, the probation officer may, after consultation with the probation department director or authorized designee, discuss with their legal representative the feasibility of obtaining and securing a court order for disclosure of confidential HIV-related information, in accordance with the provisions of article 27-F, section 2785 of the Public Health Law. Disclosures to a contact made with the consent of the protected individual or through a court order may only be made by authorized health employees who have received training in the transmission of HIV infection and must be accompanied by supportive counseling and/or referrals for such counseling. The identity of the protected individual may not be disclosed to a contact.
