Senate Bill 453 amends the Government Code to require the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to maintain the confidentiality of an inmate's HIV test results at all times, including following the inmate's discharge, release from state jail, or release on parole or mandatory supervision. The bill expands the occasions on which the department must test an inmate for HIV to include during the diagnostic process, if the department does not have a record of a positive test result for the inmate.
