When the source of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-related information is a person other than the child, child's parent, legal guardian, or legal custodian, the Child Welfare (CW) worker must obtain written consent that allows the source to release the child's information to the CW worker. When the CW worker:
-
(1) cannot obtain written consent for release of information from the source, the worker considers the information false; and
-
(2) obtains written consent for release of information from the source, the worker proceeds with case management for a child at risk for HIV infection.
