These pathogens include, but are not limited to, human immunodeficiency (HIV) virus, hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C, meningitis, diphtheria, plague, hemorrhagic fevers and rabies. The Department will ensure that employees are able to perform their duties in a safe and effective manner and to make certain employees provide every person the same quality of service, regardless of a person's state of health.

All medical information including reports of exposure incidents, the names of persons who suffered the exposure and the person having an infectious disease, must be kept strictly confidential.
