其他人会知道我的HIV检测报告吗?

如果你进行的是匿名检测,除了你自己,没有人会知道你的检测结果。如果你进行的是保密检测,你的检测结果会成为你的医疗记录的一部分,但仍然受到国家和联邦隐私法的保护。

  • 匿名检测意味着没有任何信息与你的检测结果相关联。当你进行匿名HIV检测时,你会得到一个唯一的标识符,凭此标识符你可以获取你的检测结果。

  • 保密检测意味着你的名字和其他身份信息会与检测结果关联。检测结果会进入你的医疗记录,并且可能会与你的健康护理提供者和健康保险公司共享。除此之外,检测结果仍然受到国家和联邦隐私法的保护,只有在你同意的情况下,结果才会被透露。

如果你进行保密检测并且检测结果为阳性,测试结果和你的姓名将会报告给州或地方公共卫生部门,以帮助公共卫生官员更好地估算该州的HIV传播率。之后,州卫生部门会移除你所有的个人信息(如姓名、地址等),并将剩余的非标识性信息分享给CDC(美国疾病控制与预防中心)。CDC不会将这些信息与其他任何人共享,包括保险公司。

在中国,HIV检测同样有匿名检测和保密检测两种方式。大多数地方提供保密检测,并严格遵守个人隐私保护规定。对于匿名检测,通常不会要求提供个人信息,检测者会使用代码或编号来查找自己的检测结果。这种方式非常适合那些担心个人隐私泄露的人。

在一些地方,HIV检测结果会被上报至公共卫生部门,以便更好地监控和管理HIV的传播情况。但这些信息通常不会透露给个人的雇主或保险公司,且法律要求医疗机构必须严格保密,除非有明确的法律规定或个人同意。

If you undergo anonymous testing, no one but you will know the result. For confidential testing, your test result will be part of your medical record, but it is still protected by both state and federal privacy laws.

  • Anonymous testing means that your test results are not linked to your identity. When you take an anonymous HIV test, you are given a unique identifier to retrieve your results.

  • Confidential testing means that your name and other identifying information will be attached to your test results. These results are included in your medical record and may be shared with your health care providers or insurance companies. However, the results are still protected by privacy laws, and they can only be shared with your permission.

If you test positive for HIV via confidential testing, your result and personal information will be reported to the state or local health department to help public health officials estimate HIV prevalence in your area. The state department will remove all personal identifiers and share the remaining anonymized data with the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). The CDC will not share this information with any other entities, including insurance companies.
