Does Schulman provide sites with approved HIV Consents when HIV testing is explicitly required by the protocol or when the protocol allows for HIV testing at the Investigator’s discretion?
No. It is Schulman’s expectation that the Principal Investigator will assume the responsibility of being aware of and assuring compliance with state/provincial laws and/or regulations regarding HIV testing when HIV testing is explicitly required by the protocol or when the protocol allows for HIV testing at the Investigator’s discretion. Schulman recommends that Canadian sites consult with their provinces’ health officials and/or legal counsel to assist in determining the provinces’ laws and/or regulations pertaining to HIV testing. Schulman recommends that US sites consult with their states’ departments of health and/or legal counsel to assist in determining the states’ laws and/or regulations pertaining to HIV testing.
