Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order further amends the Schedule to the AIDS (Control) Act 1987 so as to secure that reports of the number of positive results of HIV antibody tests are covered by the confidentiality provisions in paragraph 3. The previous Order of 1988, which required this number to be reported without that safeguard, is revoked.
