SUMMARY:
Study; Human Immunodeficiency Virus; Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. Continues the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Issues, Policies, and Programs Relating to Infection with Human Immunodeficiency Viruses. Noting the many issues addressed in the past, the state's changing fiscal and personnel policies, the evolving demography and characteristics of the AIDS epidemic, and the new and unexpected issues created by these changes, this resolution asserts that there is now, more than ever, a need for a forum to design reasonable mechanisms for resolving AIDS controversies. In the next two years, the joint subcommittee intends to: (i) examine the need to regulate viatical settlements; (ii) reexamine health and other insurance issues in the coming year, particularly vis-?-vis the impact of managed care systems on AIDS patients; (iii) reexamine HIV issues related to institutional settings, particularly the corrections system and the projections for the future, institutional health care; the handling of difficult situations and exposure-prone incidents; and employee and client safety; (iv) continue to examine issues related to testing of pregnant women; (v) examine methods to more efficiently transmit information to foster parents and others; (vi) continue to study the funding of current programs; (vii) examine issues related to home collection kits, confidentiality, informed consent, face-to-face disclosure of test results, and counseling; (viii) examine issues related to the increasing numbers of poor people, women, adolescents, and children with HIV infection; (ix) monitor the impact of current fiscal and workforce policy changes on the Commonwealth's response to this epidemic and the effectiveness of the programs established as a result of the joint subcommittee's recommendations; and (x) study such other issues the joint subcommittee deems relevant.
This resolution is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Issues, Policies, and Programs Relating to Infection with Human Immunodeficiency Viruses.
