Ervanian says tests require lengthy patient counseling before blood draws and strict privacy, while panel leaders critique the law as biased toward patients. Sen. Al Sturgeon asks why the issue is so hard as officials push targeted programs for gay communities and drug abusers. State funds total 518200 dollars with four contracts of 23000 dollars each for minority and intravenous drug user outreach.
