Deemed Consent for Designated Blood borne Pathogens:

Under the Virginia Acts of Assembly Section 32.1-45.1, whenever any health care worker associated with or working for Tri-Area Community Health is directly exposed to body fluids of a patient in a manner which may transmit HIV (AIDS virus) or Hepatitis B and C according to the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control, Tri-Area Community Health will proceed to test the patient’s blood for HIV and Hepatitis B and C. Tri-Area Community Health will provide the results of the test to the patient through his or her primary care provider, and to the health care worker who was exposed. Tri-Area Community Health’s policy also protects you as a patient, should you be exposed to the body fluids of a health care worker.
