HIV disease if the individual underwent the testing through a
program designed to perform the test and provide the results to the
individual without the individual disclosing his or her identity to
the program. This subparagraph may not be construed as affecting

liability for, an infected individual if the individual chooses
not to identify the partners of the individual, or the
individual does not otherwise cooperate with such program.
``(H) The failure of the State to notify partners is not a
basis for the civil liability of any health entity who under
the program reported to the State the identity of the infected
individual involved.
``(I) The State provides that the provisions of the program
may not be construed as prohibiting the State from providing a
notification under subparagraph (A) without the consent of the
infected individual involved.

for Disease Control and Prevention the number of individuals from
whom the names of partners have been sought under the program under

that is sufficient to provide adequate and reliable information on
the number of such cases and the demographic characteristics of
such cases, both for the State in general and for specific
geographic areas in the State.
(2) A determination of whether such information is sufficiently
accurate for purposes of formula grants under parts A and B of
title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act.
(3) With respect to any State whose surveillance system does
not provide adequate and reliable information on cases of infection
with the virus, recommendations regarding the manner in which the
State can improve the system.
(b) Relationship Between Epidemiological Measures and Health Care
for Certain Individuals With HIV Disease.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary shall request the Institute of
Medicine to enter into an agreement with the Secretary under which
such Institute conducts a study concerning the appropriate
epidemiological measures and their relationship to the financing
and delivery of primary care and health-related support services
for low-income, uninsured, and under-insured individuals with HIV
disease.
(2) Issues to be considered.--The Secretary shall ensure that
the study under paragraph (1) considers the following:
(A) The availability and utility of health outcomes
measures and data for HIV primary care and support services and
the extent to which those measures and data could be used to
measure the quality of such funded services.
(B) The effectiveness and efficiency of service delivery
(including the quality of services, health outcomes, and
resource use) within the context of a changing health care and
therapeutic environment, as well as the changing epidemiology
of the epidemic, including determining the actual costs,
potential savings, and overall financial impact of modifying
the program under title XIX of the Social Security Act to
establish eligibility for medical assistance under such title
on the basis of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus
rather than providing such assistance only if the infection has
progressed to acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
(C) Existing and needed epidemiological data and other
analytic tools for resource planning and allocation decisions,
specifically for estimating severity of need of a community and
the relationship to the allocations process.
(D) Other factors determined to be relevant to assessing an
individual's or community's ability to gain and sustain access
to quality HIV services.
(c) Other Entities.--If the Institute of Medicine declines to
conduct a study under this section, the Secretary shall enter into an
agreement with another appropriate public or nonprofit private entity
to conduct the study.
(d) Report.--The Secretary shall ensure that--
(1) not later than 3 years after the date of the enactment of
this Act, the study required in subsection (a) is completed and a
report describing the findings made in the study is submitted to
the appropriate committees of the Congress; and
(2) not later than 2 years after the date of the enactment of
this Act, the study required in subsection (b) is completed and a
report describing the findings made in the study is submitted to
such committees.
SEC. 502. DEVELOPMENT OF RAPID HIV TEST.
(a) Expansion, Intensification, and Coordination of Research and
Other Activities.--
(1) In general.--The Director of NIH shall expand, intensify,
and coordinate research and other activities of the National
Institutes of Health with respect to the development of reliable
and affordable tests for HIV disease that can rapidly be
administered and whose results can rapidly be obtained (in this
section referred to as ``rapid HIV test'').
(2) Report to congress.--The Director of NIH shall periodically
submit to the appropriate committees of Congress a report
describing the research and other activities conducted or supported
under paragraph (1).
(3) Authorization of appropriations.--For the purpose of
carrying out this subsection, there are authorized to be
appropriated such sums as may be necessary for each of the fiscal
years 2001 through 2005.
(b) Premarket Review of Rapid HIV Tests.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Secretary, in consultation with the
Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the
Commissioner of Food and Drugs, shall submit to the appropriate
committees of the Congress a report describing the progress made
towards, and barriers to, the premarket review and commercial
distribution of rapid HIV tests. The report shall--
(A) assess the public health need for and public health
benefits of rapid HIV tests, including the minimization of
false positive results 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 Biologics Evaluation and Research and, if such
recommendations are favorable, specify criteria and procedures
for such expedited review; and
(C) specify whether the barriers to the premarket 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.
(c) Guidelines of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.--
Promptly after commercial distribution of a rapid HIV test begins, the
Secretary, acting through the Director of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, shall establish or update guidelines that
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.
