(2) REPORT TO CONGRESS.—The Director of
NIH shall periodically submit to the appropriate
committees of Congress a report describing the re-
search and other activities conducted or supported
under paragraph (1).

sioner of Food and Drugs, shall submit to the ap-
propriate committees of the Congress a report de-
scribing the progress made towards, and barriers to,
the premarket review and commercial distribution of

public health benefits of rapid HIV tests, in-
cluding the minimization of false positive re-
sults through the availability of multiple rapid
HIV tests;
(B) make recommendations regarding the
need for the expedited review of rapid HIV test
applications submitted to the Center for Bio-
logics Evaluation and Research and, if such rec-

market review of rapid HIV tests include the
unnecessary application of requirements—
(i) necessary to ensure the efficacy of
devices for donor screening to rapid HIV
tests intended for use in other screening
situations; or
(ii) for identifying antibodies to HIV
subtypes of rare incidence in the United
States to rapid HIV tests intended for use
in screening situations other than donor
screening.

TROL AND PREVENTION.—Promptly after commercial dis-
tribution of a rapid HIV test begins, the Secretary, acting
through the Director of the Centers for Disease Control

include recommendations for States, hospitals, and other
appropriate entities regarding the ready availability of
such tests for administration to pregnant women who are
in labor or in the late stage of pregnancy and whose HIV
status is not known to the attending obstetrician.
