"Section 5. The HIV/AIDS Registry Act is amended by

(410 ILCS 310/4) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 7354)
Sec. 4. (a) The Department shall establish and maintain an
HIV/AIDS Registry consisting of a record of all cases of HIV
and AIDS which occur in Illinois, and such information
concerning those cases as it deems necessary or appropriate in
order to conduct thorough and complete epidemiological surveys
of HIV and AIDS in Illinois, and to evaluate existing control
and prevention measures. Notwithstanding any other provision

load test results, both detectable and undetectable. Cases
included in the Registry shall be identified by a code rather
than by name. To the extent feasible, the Registry shall be
compatible with other national models so as to facilitate the
coordination of information with other data bases.
(b) To facilitate the collection of information relating to
cases of HIV and AIDS, the Department shall have the authority
to require hospitals, laboratories and other facilities which
diagnose such conditions to report cases of HIV and AIDS to the
Department or a local health authority if the local health
authority serves a population of over 1,000,000 citizens or if
the local health authority has been designated by the
Department to collect such information, and to require the
submission of such other information pertaining to or in
connection with such reported cases as the Department deems
necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this Act,
including all CD4 and HIV viral load test results for those
cases included in the Registry. The Department may promulgate
rules or regulations specifying the types of information
required, requirements for follow up of patients, frequency of
reporting, methods of submitting such information and any other
details deemed by the Department to be necessary or appropriate
for the administration of this Act. Nothing in this Act shall
be construed to compel any individual to submit to a medical
examination or supervision.
(c) The Director shall by rule establish standards for
