Sec. 9. (1) No person may disclose or be compelled to
disclose HIV-related information, except to the following
persons:
(a) The subject of an HIV test or the subject's
legally authorized representative. A physician may notify
the spouse or civil union partner of the test subject, if
the test result is positive and has been confirmed
pursuant to rules adopted by the Department, provided that
the physician has first sought unsuccessfully to persuade
the patient to notify the spouse or civil union partner or
that, a reasonable time after the patient has agreed to
make the notification, the physician has reason to believe
that the patient has not provided the notification. This
paragraph shall not create a duty or obligation under
which a physician must notify the spouse or civil union
partner of the test results, nor shall such duty or
obligation be implied. No civil liability or criminal
sanction under this Act shall be imposed for any
disclosure or non-disclosure of a test result to a spouse
or civil union partner by a physician acting in good faith
under this paragraph. For the purpose of any proceedings,
civil or criminal, the good faith of any physician acting
under this paragraph shall be presumed.
(b) Any person designated in a legally effective
authorization for release of the HIV-related information
executed by the subject of the HIV-related information or
the subject's legally authorized representative.
(c) An authorized agent or employee of a health
facility or health care provider if the health facility or
health care provider itself is authorized to obtain the
test results, the agent or employee provides patient care
or handles or processes specimens of body fluids or
tissues, and the agent or employee has a need to know such
information.
(d) The Department and local health authorities
serving a population of over 1,000,000 residents or other
local health authorities as designated by the Department,
in accordance with rules for reporting, preventing, and
controlling the spread of disease and the conduct of
public health surveillance, public health investigations,
and public health interventions, as otherwise provided by
State law. The Department, local health authorities, and
authorized representatives shall not disclose HIV test
results and HIV-related information, publicly or in any
action of any kind in any court or before any tribunal,

information shall be protected from disclosure in
accordance with the provisions of Sections 8-2101 through
8-2105 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

test result is positive and has been confirmed pursuant to
rules adopted by the Department, the health care
professional who ordered the test shall make a reasonable
effort to notify the minor's parent or legal guardian if,
in the professional judgment of the health care
professional, notification would be in the best interest
of the child and the health care professional has first
sought unsuccessfully to persuade the minor to notify the
parent or legal guardian or a reasonable time after the
minor has agreed to notify the parent or legal guardian,
the health care professional has reason to believe that
the minor has not made the notification. This subsection
shall not create a duty or obligation under which a health
care professional must notify the minor's parent or legal
guardian of the test results, nor shall a duty or
obligation be implied. No civil liability or criminal
sanction under this Act shall be imposed for any
notification or non-notification of a minor's test result

HIV prior to the Department taking any steps to notify such
contacts. If the subject declines to notify such contacts or

incomplete, the Department shall endeavor to notify such other
persons of the potential risk, and offer testing and
counseling services to these individuals. When the contacts
are notified, they shall be informed of the disclosure
provisions of the AIDS Confidentiality Act and the penalties
therein and this Section.
(c) Contacts investigated under this Section shall in the
case of HIV infection include (i) individuals who have
undergone invasive procedures performed by an HIV infected

provided the Department has determined that there is or may
have been potential risk of HIV transmission from the health
care provider to those individuals or from infected persons to
health care providers. The Department shall have access to the
subject's records to review for the identity of contacts. The
subject's records shall not be copied or seized by the
Department.

procedures" means those procedures termed invasive by the

recommendations for the prevention of HIV transmission in
health care settings, and the term "health care provider"

practice registered nurse, physician assistant, nurse, or
other person providing health care services of any kind.
(d) All information and records held by the Department and
local health authorities pertaining to activities conducted
pursuant to this Section shall be strictly confidential and
exempt from copying and inspection under the Freedom of
Information Act. Such information and records shall not be
released or made public by the Department or local health
authorities, and shall not be admissible as evidence, nor
discoverable in any action of any kind in any court or before
any tribunal, board, agency or person and shall be treated in
the same manner as the information and those records subject

counseling as a result of the offense.
Probation may be revoked or modified pursuant to Section
5-6-4; except where the court determines at the hearing that
the defendant violated a condition of his or her probation
restricting contact with the victim or other family members or
commits another offense with the victim or other family
members, the court shall revoke the defendant's probation and
impose a term of imprisonment.

testing to determine whether the defendant has any sexually
transmissible disease, including a test for infection with
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or any other identified
causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Any such medical test shall be performed only by appropriately

or 12-16.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of
2012 against the defendant. The court shall order that the
cost of any such test shall be paid by the county and may be

any violation of the Methamphetamine Control and Community
Protection Act results in conviction, a disposition of court
supervision, or an order of probation granted under Section 10
of the Cannabis Control Act, Section 410 of the Illinois
Controlled Substances Act, or Section 70 of the
Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act of a
defendant, the court shall determine whether the defendant is
employed by a facility or center as defined under the Child
Care Act of 1969, a public or private elementary or secondary
school, or otherwise works with children under 18 years of age
on a daily basis. When a defendant is so employed, the court

judgment of conviction or order of supervision or probation to
the defendant's employer by certified mail. If the employer of
the defendant is a school, the Clerk of the Court shall direct

(j-5) A defendant at least 17 years of age who is convicted
of a felony and who has not been previously convicted of a
misdemeanor or felony and who is sentenced to a term of
imprisonment in the Illinois Department of Corrections shall
as a condition of his or her sentence be required by the court
to attend educational courses designed to prepare the
defendant for a high school diploma and to work toward a high
school diploma or to work toward passing high school
equivalency testing or to work toward completing a vocational
training program offered by the Department of Corrections. If
a defendant fails to complete the educational training
required by his or her sentence during the term of
incarceration, the Prisoner Review Board shall, as a condition
of mandatory supervised release, require the defendant, at his
or her own expense, to pursue a course of study toward a high
school diploma or passage of high school equivalency testing.
The Prisoner Review Board shall revoke the mandatory
supervised release of a defendant who wilfully fails to comply
with this subsection (j-5) upon his or her release from
confinement in a penal institution while serving a mandatory
supervised release term; however, the inability of the
defendant after making a good faith effort to obtain financial
aid or pay for the educational training shall not be deemed a
wilful failure to comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall
recommit the defendant whose mandatory supervised release term
has been revoked under this subsection (j-5) as provided in
Section 3-3-9. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a
defendant who has a high school diploma or has successfully
passed high school equivalency testing. This subsection (j-5)
does not apply to a defendant who is determined by the court to
be a person with a developmental disability or otherwise
mentally incapable of completing the educational or vocational
program.
