Because having AIDS or seeking testing for the presence of such infection should not serve as a basis for discriminatory actions, information concerning the plaintiff's health and possible HIV infection was not of legitimate public concern. Publication of such information by the plaintiff's employer was sufficient to support a claim for invasion of privacy. Borquez v. Robert C. Ozer, P.C., 923 P.2d 166 (Colo.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 25 - Public Health and Environment|Article 4 - Disease Control|Part 4 - Sexually Transmitted Infections|§ 25-4-409. Minors - Treatment - Consent

     A health-care provider or facility, if consulted by a patient who is a minor, shall perform, at the minor's request, a diagnostic examination for a sexually transmitted infection. The health-care provider or facility shall treat the minor for a sexually transmitted infection, if necessary; discuss, administer, dispense, or prescribe preventive measures or medications, where applicable; and include appropriate therapies and prescriptions.    If a minor requests a diagnostic examination, care, prevention services, or treatment for a sexually transmitted infection, the health-care provider who provides such services is not civilly or criminally liable for performing the service, but the immunity from liability does not apply to any negligent act or omission by the health-care provider.       The consent of a parent or legal guardian is not a prerequisite for a minor to receive a consultation, an examination, preventive care, or treatment for sexually transmitted infections. For the purposes of this section, health care provided to a minor is confidential, and information related to that care must not be divulged to any person other than the minor; except that the reporting required pursuant to the “Child Protection Act of 1987”, part 3 of article 3 of title 19, still applies. If the minor is thirteen years of age or younger, the health care provider may involve the minor's parent or legal guardian. A health-care provider shall counsel the minor on the importance of bringing the minor's parent or legal guardian into the minor's confidence regarding the consultation, exam, or treatment.

  Confidential HIV counseling and testing services are the preferred screening services for the detection of a possible infection. However, the state department shall, consistent with generally accepted practices for the protection of the public health and safety, conduct an anonymous HIV counseling and testing program at selected sites. The state department may operate sites or separately contract through local public health agencies to conduct HIV testing in conjunction with counseling and testing sites, subject to maintaining standards for performance as set by rule of the state board pursuant to section 25-4-404.      The disclosure of a person's name, address, phone number, birth date, or other personally identifying information is not required as a condition to be tested for HIV at an anonymous testing site. Any provision of this part 4 that requires or can be construed as requiring a person seeking testing to report or disclose such information does not apply to persons seeking to be tested at an anonymous testing site created pursuant to this section.    Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (2)(a) of this section, the age, gender, or gender identity of a person seeking to be tested at a testing site may be required.         History.
