Any person or institution required to report the results of HIV tests must have written policies in place that ensure the confidentiality of the information. In addition, the Department of Health must meet strict security standards established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. High-level security measures protect the building, room, and computer where the data are kept. Data are released only in aggregate form. The Department of Health does not know the names of people infected with HIV.
