AMA report outlines AIDS testing policy limits
The American Medical Association issues an 18 point draft on AIDS testing rejecting broad mandatory testing. It supports mandatory testing for prisoners immigrants and military and donors of blood organs semen with consent for routine voluntary testing at clinics. Pregnant high risk patients and those undergoing surgery should be routinely tested while consent is required. If voluntary hospital testing fails, mandatory testing could follow. Contact tracing through state health departments is advised. Delegates at the AMA annual meeting will debate the policy ahead of final approval.
