New York law is more stringent than HIPAA on the use and disclosure of confidential HIV-related information and so you should generally continue to follow your current practices. However, there are areas where HIPAA and NY Law must be integrated. ACLAIMH has a Guide To Developing Policies For HIV Information that is part of the manual that was created.
