Alberta: new bill will allow for mandatory HIV testing in emergency situations
Can HIV AIDS Policy Law Rev.
2004 Apr.
Abstract
A private member's bill is expected to be introduced in the spring 2004 session of the Alberta Legislative Assembly that will allow for forced testing of individuals for HIV, hepatitis, and other bloodborne diseases if their bodily fluids come into contact with emergency workers or Good Samaritans. The bill will likely have strong support from within the ranks of the governing Conservatives.
