AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law in Massachusetts to allow healthcare facilities, physicians, and providers to test individuals for HIV antibodies or antigens if ordered by a court under a new section 70I. This new section 70I allows law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, firefighters, EMS personnel, and paramedics who have been exposed to the bodily fluids of another person during the course of their official duties to petition a superior court for an order to compel the testing of that person for HIV. The results of the test can only be shared with the exposed individual and their medical provider.
