With anonymous HIV
testing, no identifying personal information is associated with your test
results and therefore no information will be added to your medical record.
With confidential
testing, the results go into your personal medical record. These records are
kept strictly private according to federal law. No one besides your healthcare
provider may see your medical record unless you give written permission or your
records are subpoenaed by a court of law (a very rare circumstance). We
absolutely will not notify your parents, friends, partners, professors, or
anyone else about your visit.
