N2  - Oklahoma Senate Bill 886 requires inmates to undergo HIV and hepatitis B testing if they expose other people to body fluids. The definition of exposure to body fluids is broad and the Department of Corrections sought a narrower definition that reflects actual transmission risk. The bill requires the Department of Corrections to provide the results to the person who was potentially exposed. If the prison already knows that the inmate is HIV-positive, the testing requirement is waived. Existing law requires officers to be notified before contact if the inmate has HIV or AIDS. Prompted by a case involving a Tulsa County rape victim, a second bill, House Bill 2570, was passed to expedite HIV testing of defendants charged with sex offenses.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
