Declares that when an infant under one year of age is placed in out-of-home care under chapter 13.34 RCW, the department of social and health services or other supervising agency shall request that the infant's treating physician administer to the infant a test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), if the HIV status of the mother of the infant is unknown, and shall request follow-up testing for an infant who tests positive for HIV under the first instance or whose mother is HIV-positive.

Declares that this act does not apply to an infant whose parents object to the test as being in conflict with their religious tenets and practices.
