The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall not make a grant under part B of title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act ( 42 U.S.C. 300ff–21 et seq.) to any State unless such State takes administrative or legislative action to require that a good faith effort be made to notify a spouse of a known HIV-infected patient that such spouse may have been exposed to the human immunodeficiency virus and should seek testing. For purposes of this section: The term “spouse” means any individual who is the marriage partner of an HIV-infected patient, or who has been the marriage partner of that patient at any time within the 10-year period prior to the diagnosis of HIV infection.
The term “HIV-infected patient” means any individual who has been diagnosed to be infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. The term “State” means any of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, or any territory of the United States. ( Pub. L. 104–146, § 8 , May 20, 1996 , 110 Stat. 1372 .)
