Every attending physician treating an individual known by the physician to have a diagnosis
of human immunodeficiency virus infection, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or human
immunodeficiency virus-related illness, including death from human immunodeficiency virus
infection, shall make a report on that individual to the department of health and human services.
A person treating an individual known to have human immunodeficiency virus infection in a
hospital, a clinic, a sanitarium, the physical custody of the department of corrections and
rehabilitation, a regional or local correctional facility or juvenile detention center, the North
Dakota youth correctional center, or other private or public institution shall make a report on that
individual to the facility administrator or the facility administrator's designee. Further disclosure
of information on any individual known to have human immunodeficiency virus infection may
only be provided to medical personnel providing direct care to the individual or as otherwise
authorized by law. The designated official shall, if satisfied that the report is valid, make a report
to the department on each individual having a diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus
infection, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or human immunodeficiency virus-related
illness, including death from human immunodeficiency virus infection, unless the diagnosed
individual's attending physician has made such a report. The reports required under this section
must contain the name, date of birth, sex, and address of the individual reported on and the
name and address of the physician or designated official making the report. Failure by a facility
to designate an official to whom reports must be made is an infraction. Any person who in good
faith complies with this section is immune from civil and criminal liability for any action taken in
compliance with this section.
