(a) It shall be the chief medical officer’s responsibility to see that personal counseling is provided to a law enforcement employee filing a report pursuant to Section 7510, an inmate filing a request pursuant to Section 7512, and any potential test subject, at the time the initial report or request for tests is made, at the time when tests are ordered, and at the time when test results are provided to the employee, inmate, or test subject.
(b) The chief medical officer may provide additional counseling to any of these individuals, upon his or her request, or whenever the chief medical officer deems advisable, and may arrange for the counseling to be provided in other jurisdictions. The chief medical officer shall encourage the subject of the report or request, the law enforcement employee who filed the report, the person who filed the request pursuant to Section 7512, or in the case of a minor, the minor on whose behalf the request was filed, to undergo voluntary HIV or hepatitis B or C testing if the chief medical officer deems it medically advisable. All testing required by this title or any voluntary testing resulting from the provisions of this title, shall be at the expense of the appropriate correctional institution.
(Amended by Stats. 2006, Ch. 800, Sec. 9. Effective January 1, 2007.)
