Provides that no health care provider (rather than no physician) may order an HIV test without making specified information available to the person tested.

In provisions providing that a health care provider who ordered the test of a minor under 18 years of age shall make a reasonable effort to notify the minor's parent or legal guardian under specified circumstances if the minor's test result is positive and has been confirmed, deletes a requirement that the confirmation must be by a Western Blot Assay or more reliable test.</SynopsisText><synopsistitle>House Amendment No. 1</synopsistitle>
<SynopsisText>Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the AIDS Confidentiality Act. Provides that no health care provider (rather than no physician) may order a HIV test without making available, to the person tested, information about the meaning of test results and about the availability of additional testing and referrals. Requires the Department of Public Health to adopt rules to allow for the implementation of HIV/AIDS rapid testing; provides that the rules must include, but need not be limited to, standards for testing and counseling and dissemination of test results. In provisions concerning disclosure of test subjects and results, provides for notice by a physician or other health care provider if a positive test result is confirmed pursuant to guidelines set by the Department of Public Health (instead of confirmed by a Western Blot Assay or more reliable test). Effective immediately.</SynopsisText></synopsis>
