Can A Court Order HIV Testing Of Individuals?
When HIV or AIDS is an issue in a legal dispute, the judge has the power to order someone who is a party to the lawsuit to undergo an HIV test. If your HIV status is revealed in court, the information you disclose will be made part of the court record (a public document). However, you may have your attorney ask the judge to “seal” the information in the case that would identify you as HIV-positive, thus keep your HIV status private from the record.
