Questions regarding the University's nondiscrimination policy should be referred to the Office of Affirmative Action. HIV-related information includes a person's infection or disease status as well as the fact that an individual has been tested for HIV, regardless of the result. HIV testing is available at The University of Iowa and in surrounding communities. Confidential testing is available for students, faculty, and staff at the Student Health Service, The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, and the Department of Family Practice, as appropriate. In cases of suspected occupational exposure, testing will be provided without cost to the individual.
Anonymous testing is available in Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, and elsewhere in Iowa.
An HIV test is not a requirement or precondition for employment, admission, or enrollment at The University of Iowa. Annual training is mandated for all members of the University community whose employment places them at risk of exposure to blood-borne pathogens. Training is also provided to students whose academic programs place them at risk of exposure to blood-borne pathogens. Questions related to occupational safety may be referred to the Health Protection Office.
