Provides that persons who are identified as being at high risk for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV shall be offered an opportunity to undergo laboratory testing if they will be admitted to the nursing facility for at least 7 days and are not known to be infected with any of the listed viruses. Provides that all HIV testing shall be conducted in compliance with the AIDS Confidentiality Act and that all persons determined to be susceptible to the hepatitis B virus shall be offered immunization upon admission to any nursing facility.
