The new guidelines, after being scrutinized against the latest information on the transmission of AIDS, were altered only U. slightly from the previously-existinpolicy, Rothermich explained. "There aren't substantive changes, just g some fine tuning in terms of what the law requires," he said. The most significant change involved the legal requirement to report confirmed AIDS and HIV cases to state health authorities. The law requires that the health department's Bureau of Epidemiology be informed of AIDS cases and be allowed to review pertinent medical records. The state can also request an interview with the patient, but the patient has a right to refuse it. However, the guidelines mandate the protection of "the civil and human rights of all individuals concerned" by "making every effort to protect individual privacy and confidentiality." Another goal of the guidelines is to educate, Rothermich said. "We want to let the U. community know that you can sit with someone in a classroom who has HIV and not be afraid," he said.
