Each individual to be screened shall be offered pre- and post-
HIV/AIDS test counseling from trained counselors. For individuals
who are likely to be discharged from the state supported living center
prior to receipt of test results, consent should be obtained from
the individual or their legally authorized representative (LAR) to
refer the individual to the local public health department for further
HIV/AIDS treatment services. Prior to referral, consent should also
be obtained from the individual or their LAR to send the individual's
test results to the local public health department.
