   26         (3)“Sexual conduct” means conduct between persons,
   27  regardless of gender, which is capable of transmitting a
   28  sexually transmissible disease, including, but not limited to,
   29  contact between a:
   30         (a) Penis and a vulva or an anus; or
   31         (b) Mouth and a penis, a vulva, or an anus.
   32         (4)(3) “Sexually transmissible disease” means a bacterial,
   33  viral, fungal, or parasitic disease determined by rule of the
   34  department to be sexually transmissible, to be a threat to the
   35  public health and welfare, and to be a disease for which a
   36  legitimate public interest will be served by providing for
   37  prevention, elimination, control, and treatment. The department
   38  must, by rule, determine which diseases are to be designated as
   39  sexually transmissible diseases and shall consider the
   40  recommendations and classifications of the Centers for Disease
   41  Control and Prevention and other nationally recognized medical
   42  authorities in that determination. Not all diseases that are
   43  sexually transmissible need be designated for the purposes of

   46  probability of disease transmission as proven by competent
   47  medical or epidemiological evidence.
   48         Section 3. Section 384.24, Florida Statutes, is amended to
   49  read:
   50         384.24 Unlawful acts.—
   51         (1) It is unlawful for a any person who has chancroid,
   52  gonorrhea, granuloma inguinale, lymphogranuloma venereum,
   53  genital herpes simplex, chlamydia, nongonococcal urethritis
   54  (NGU), pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)/acute salpingitis,
   55  human papillomavirus, hepatitis, or syphilis, or human
   56  immunodeficiency virus infection, when the such person knows he
   57  or she is infected with one or more of these diseases and when
   58  the such person has been informed that he or she may communicate
   59  this disease to another person through sexual conduct
   60  intercourse, to act with the intent to transmit the disease,
   61  engage in conduct that poses a substantial risk of transmission
   62  to another person when the other person is unaware that the
   63  person is a carrier of the disease, and transmit the disease to
   64  the other person have sexual intercourse with any other person,
   65  unless such other person has been informed of the presence of

   75  includes, but is not limited to, the use of a prophylactic
   76  device to measurably limit the risk of transmission of the
   77  disease. Evidence of the person’s failure to comply with such a

   79  and of itself, sufficient to establish that he or she acted with
   80  the intent required under subsection (1) It is unlawful for any
   81  person who has human immunodeficiency virus infection, when such
   82  person knows he or she is infected with this disease and when
   83  such person has been informed that he or she may communicate
   84  this disease to another person through sexual intercourse, to
   85  have sexual intercourse with any other person, unless such other
   86  person has been informed of the presence of the sexually
   87  transmissible disease and has consented to the sexual
   88  intercourse.

  208         Section 6. Section 796.08, Florida Statutes, is amended to
  209  read:
  210         796.08 Screening for HIV and sexually transmissible
  211  diseases; providing penalties.—
  212         (1)(a) For the purposes of this section, the term “sexually
  213  transmissible disease” means a bacterial, viral, fungal, or
  214  parasitic disease, determined by rule of the Department of
  215  Health to be sexually transmissible, a threat to the public
  216  health and welfare, and a disease for which a legitimate public
  217  interest is served by providing for regulation and treatment.
  218         (b) In considering which diseases are designated as
  219  sexually transmissible diseases, the Department of Health shall
  220  consider such diseases as chancroid, gonorrhea, granuloma

  222  chlamydia, nongonococcal urethritis (NGU), pelvic inflammatory
  223  disease (PID)/acute salpingitis, syphilis, and human
  224  immunodeficiency virus infection for designation and shall

  226  for Disease Control and Prevention and other nationally
  227  recognized authorities. Not all diseases that are sexually
  228  transmissible need be designated for purposes of this section.
  229         (2) A person arrested under s. 796.07 shall be screened may
  230  request screening for a sexually transmissible disease under
  231  direction of the Department of Health and, if infected, shall

  238  Health shall ensure that any person electing to take PEP under
  239  this subsection does not incur out-of-pocket expenses of more
  240  than $30 in obtaining this medication.
  241         (3) A person convicted under s. 796.07 of prostitution or
  242  procuring another to commit prostitution must undergo screening
  243  for a sexually transmissible disease, including, but not limited

  246  person is infected, he or she must submit to treatment and
  247  counseling prior to release from probation, community control,
  248  or incarceration. Notwithstanding the provisions of s. 384.29,
  249  the results of tests conducted pursuant to this subsection shall
  250  be made available by the Department of Health to the offender,
  251  medical personnel, appropriate state agencies, state attorneys,

  253  information in order to enforce the provisions of this chapter.
  254         (3)(4) A person who commits prostitution or procures
  255  another for prostitution and who, prior to the commission of

  257  disease other than human immunodeficiency virus infection and
  258  knew or had been informed that he or she had tested positive for
  259  such sexually transmissible disease and could possibly
  260  communicate such disease to another person through sexual
  261  activity commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable
  262  as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. A person may be

  267         (a) Commits or offers to commit prostitution; or
  268         (b) Procures another for prostitution by engaging in sexual
  269  activity in a manner likely to transmit the human
  270  immunodeficiency virus,
  271  
  272  and who, prior to the commission of such crime, had tested
  273  positive for human immunodeficiency virus and knew or had been

  282         Section 7. Section 960.003, Florida Statutes, is amended to
  283  read:
  284         960.003 Preventive medical treatment and care for victims
  285  of sexual assault involving the exchange of bodily fluids
  286  presenting a substantial risk of transmission of HIV; hepatitis
  287  and HIV testing for persons charged with or alleged by petition
  288  for delinquency to have committed certain offenses; disclosure
  289  of results to victims.—
  290         (1) LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS INTENT.—The Legislature finds that
  291  victims of sexual assault involving the exchange of bodily
  292  fluids that present a substantial risk of transmission of the
  293  human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) should have access to
  294  appropriate medical care and affordable postexposure prophylaxis
  295  to prevent the acquisition of HIV. Further, a victim of a
  296  criminal offense which involves the transmission of body fluids,
  297  or which involves certain sexual offenses in which the victim is
  298  a minor, disabled adult, or elderly person, is entitled to know
  299  at the earliest possible opportunity whether the person charged
  300  with or alleged by petition for delinquency to have committed
  301  the offense has tested positive for hepatitis or human
  302  immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The Legislature finds
  303  that to deny victims access to hepatitis and HIV test results
  304  causes unnecessary mental anguish in persons who have already
  305  suffered trauma. The Legislature further finds that since
  306  medical science now recognizes that early diagnosis is a
  307  critical factor in the treatment of hepatitis and HIV infection,
  308  both the victim and the person charged with or alleged by
  309  petition for delinquency to have committed the offense benefit
  310  from prompt disclosure of hepatitis and HIV test results.
  311         (2) REFERRAL TO MEDICAL SERVICES REQUIRED.—The Department
  312  of Health shall refer for medical services any person who
  313  alleges that he or she has been the victim of a sexual assault
  314  involving an exchange of bodily fluids which presents a
  315  substantial risk of transmission of the human immunodeficiency
  316  virus (HIV). Such services must include the offer of
  317  postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) to prevent the acquisition of
  318  HIV. The Department of Health shall ensure that any person
  319  electing to take PEP under this subsection does not incur out
  320  of-pocket expenses of more than $30 in obtaining this
  321  medication. The term "substantial risk of transmission" has the
  322  same meaning as in s. 384.23.
  323         (3)(2) TESTING OF PERSON CHARGED WITH OR ALLEGED BY
  324  PETITION FOR DELINQUENCY TO HAVE COMMITTED CERTAIN OFFENSES.—
  325         (a) In any case in which a person has been charged by
  326  information or indictment with or alleged by petition for
  327  delinquency to have committed any offense enumerated in s.
  328  775.0877(1)(a)-(n), which involves the transmission of body
  329  fluids from one person to another, upon request of the victim or
  330  the victim’s legal guardian, or of the parent or legal guardian
  331  of the victim if the victim is a minor, the court shall order
  332  such person to undergo hepatitis and HIV testing within 48 hours
  333  after the information, indictment, or petition for delinquency
  334  is filed. In the event the victim or, if the victim is a minor,
  335  the victim’s parent or legal guardian requests hepatitis and HIV
  336  testing after 48 hours have elapsed from the filing of the
  337  indictment, information, or petition for delinquency, the
  338  testing shall be done within 48 hours after the request.
  339         (b) However, when a victim of any sexual offense enumerated
  340  in s. 775.0877(1)(a)-(n) is under the age of 18 at the time the
  341  offense was committed or when a victim of any sexual offense
  342  enumerated in s. 775.0877(1)(a)-(n) or s. 825.1025 is a disabled
  343  adult or elderly person as defined in s. 825.1025 regardless of
  344  whether the offense involves the transmission of bodily fluids
  345  from one person to another, then upon the request of the victim
  346  or the victim’s legal guardian, or of the parent or legal
  347  guardian, the court shall order such person to undergo hepatitis
  348  and HIV testing within 48 hours after the information,
  349  indictment, or petition for delinquency is filed. In the event
  350  the victim or, if the victim is a minor, the victim’s parent or
  351  legal guardian requests hepatitis and HIV testing after 48 hours
  352  have elapsed from the filing of the indictment, information, or
  353  petition for delinquency, the testing shall be done within 48
  354  hours after the request. The testing shall be performed under
  355  the direction of the Department of Health in accordance with s.
  356  381.004. The results of a hepatitis and HIV test performed on a
  357  defendant or juvenile offender pursuant to this subsection shall
  358  not be admissible in any criminal or juvenile proceeding arising
  359  out of the alleged offense.
  360         (c) If medically appropriate, followup HIV testing shall be
  361  provided when testing has been ordered under paragraph (a) or
  362  paragraph (b). The medical propriety of followup HIV testing
  363  shall be based upon a determination by a physician and does not
  364  require an additional court order. Notification to the victim,
  365  or to the victim’s parent or legal guardian, and to the
  366  defendant of the results of each followup test shall be made as
  367  soon as practicable in accordance with this section.
  368         (4)(3) DISCLOSURE OF RESULTS.—
  369         (a) The results of the test shall be disclosed no later
  370  than 2 weeks after the court receives such results, under the
  371  direction of the Department of Health, to the person charged
  372  with or alleged by petition for delinquency to have committed or
  373  to the person convicted of or adjudicated delinquent for any
  374  offense enumerated in s. 775.0877(1)(a)-(n), which involves the
  375  transmission of body fluids from one person to another, and,
  376  upon request, to the victim or the victim’s legal guardian, or
  377  the parent or legal guardian of the victim if the victim is a
  378  minor, and to public health agencies pursuant to s. 775.0877. If
  379  the alleged offender is a juvenile, the test results shall also
  380  be disclosed to the parent or guardian. When the victim is a
  381  victim as described in paragraph (3)(b) (2)(b), the test results
  382  must also be disclosed no later than 2 weeks after the court
  383  receives such results, to the person charged with or alleged by
  384  petition for delinquency to have committed or to the person
  385  convicted of or adjudicated delinquent for any offense
  386  enumerated in s. 775.0877(1)(a)-(n), or s. 825.1025 regardless
  387  of whether the offense involves the transmission of bodily
  388  fluids from one person to another, and, upon request, to the
  389  victim or the victim’s legal guardian, or the parent or legal
  390  guardian of the victim, and to public health agencies pursuant
  391  to s. 775.0877. Otherwise, hepatitis and HIV test results
  392  obtained pursuant to this section are confidential and exempt
  393  from the provisions of s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the
  394  State Constitution and shall not be disclosed to any other
  395  person except as expressly authorized by law or court order.
  396         (b) At the time that the results are disclosed to the
  397  victim or the victim’s legal guardian, or to the parent or legal
  398  guardian of a victim if the victim is a minor, the same
  399  immediate opportunity for face-to-face counseling which must be
  400  made available under s. 381.004 to those who undergo hepatitis
  401  and HIV testing shall also be afforded to the victim or the
  402  victim’s legal guardian, or to the parent or legal guardian of
  403  the victim if the victim is a minor.
  404         (4) POSTCONVICTION TESTING.—If, for any reason, the testing
  405  requested under subsection (3) (2) has not been undertaken, then
  406  upon request of the victim or the victim’s legal guardian, or
  407  the parent or legal guardian of the victim if the victim is a
  408  minor, the court shall order the offender to undergo hepatitis
  409  and HIV testing following conviction or delinquency
  410  adjudication. The testing shall be performed under the direction
  411  of the Department of Health, and the results shall be disclosed
  412  in accordance with the provisions of subsection (3).
  413         (5) EXCEPTIONS.—Subsections (3) and (5) (2) and (4) do not
  414  apply if:
  415         (a) The person charged with or convicted of or alleged by
  416  petition for delinquency to have committed or been adjudicated
  417  delinquent for an offense described in subsection (3) (2) has
  418  undergone hepatitis and HIV testing voluntarily or pursuant to
  419  procedures established in s. 381.004(2)(h)6. or s. 951.27, or
  420  any other applicable law or rule providing for hepatitis and HIV
  421  testing of criminal defendants, inmates, or juvenile offenders,
  422  subsequent to his or her arrest, conviction, or delinquency
  423  adjudication for the offense for which he or she was charged or
  424  alleged by petition for delinquency to have committed; and
  425         (b) The results of such hepatitis and HIV testing have been
  426  furnished to the victim or the victim’s legal guardian, or the
  427  parent or legal guardian of the victim if the victim is a minor.
  428         (6) TESTING DURING INCARCERATION, DETENTION, OR PLACEMENT;
  429  DISCLOSURE.—In any case in which a person convicted of or
  430  adjudicated delinquent for an offense described in subsection
  431  (3) (2) has not been tested under subsection (3) (2), but
  432  undergoes hepatitis and HIV testing during his or her
  433  incarceration, detention, or placement, the results of the
  434  initial hepatitis and HIV testing shall be disclosed in
  435  accordance with subsection (4) (3). Except as otherwise
  436  requested by the victim or the victim’s legal guardian, or the
  437  parent or guardian of the victim if the victim is a minor, if
  438  the initial test is conducted within the first year of the
  439  imprisonment, detention, or placement, the request for
  440  disclosure shall be considered a standing request for any
  441  subsequent hepatitis and HIV test results obtained within 1 year
  442  after the initial hepatitis and HIV tests are performed, and
  443  need not be repeated for each test administration. Where the
  444  inmate or juvenile offender has previously been tested pursuant
  445  to subsection (3) (2) the request for disclosure under this
  446  subsection shall be considered a standing request for subsequent
  447  hepatitis and HIV results conducted within 1 year of the test
  448  performed pursuant to subsection (3) (2). If the hepatitis and
  449  HIV testing is performed by an agency other than the Department
  450  of Health, that agency shall be responsible for forwarding the
  451  test results to the Department of Health for disclosure in
  452  accordance with the provisions of subsection (4) (3). This
  453  subsection shall not be limited to results of hepatitis and HIV
  454  tests administered subsequent to June 27, 1990, but shall also
  455  apply to the results of all hepatitis and HIV tests performed on
  456  inmates convicted of or juvenile offenders adjudicated
  457  delinquent for sex offenses as described in subsection (3) (2)
  458  during their incarceration, detention, or placement prior to
  459  June 27, 1990.
