    (a) In each county other than Cook, during the medical admissions exam, the warden of the jail, a correctional officer at the jail, or a member of the jail medical staff must provide the prisoner with appropriate written information concerning human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The Department of Public Health and community-based organizations certified to provide HIV/AIDS testing must provide these informational materials to the warden at no cost to the county. The warden, a correctional officer, or a member of the jail medical staff must inform the prisoner of the option of being tested for infection with HIV by a certified local community-based agency or other available medical provider at no charge to the prisoner.
    (b) In Cook County, during the medical admissions exam, an employee of the Cook County Health & Hospitals System must provide the prisoner with appropriate information in writing, verbally or by video or other electronic means concerning human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and must also provide the prisoner with option of testing for infection with HIV or any other identified causative agent of AIDS, as well as counseling in connection with such testing. The Cook County Health & Hospitals System may provide the inmate with opt-out human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing, as defined in Section 4 of the AIDS Confidentiality Act, unless the inmate refuses. If opt-out HIV testing is conducted, the Cook County Health & Hospitals System shall place signs in English, Spanish, and other languages as needed in multiple, highly visible locations in the area where HIV testing is conducted informing inmates that they will be tested for HIV unless they refuse, and refusal or acceptance of testing shall be documented in the inmate's medical record. Pre-test information shall be provided to the inmate and informed consent obtained from the inmate as required in subsection (q) of Section 3 and Section 5 of the AIDS Confidentiality Act. The Cook County Health & Hospitals System shall follow procedures established by the Department of Public Health to conduct HIV testing and testing to confirm positive HIV test results. All aspects of HIV testing shall comply with the requirements of the AIDS Confidentiality Act, including delivery of test results, as determined by the Cook County Health & Hospitals System in consultation with the Illinois Department of Public Health. Nothing in this Section shall require the Cook County Health & Hospitals System to offer HIV testing to inmates who are known to be infected with HIV. The Department of Public Health and community-based organizations certified to provide HIV/AIDS testing may provide these informational materials to the Bureau at no cost to the county. The testing provided under this subsection (b) shall consist of a test approved by the Illinois Department of Public Health to determine the presence of HIV infection, based upon recommendations of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If the test result is positive, a reliable supplemental test based upon recommendations of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shall be administered.
    (c) In each county, the warden of the jail must make appropriate written information concerning HIV/AIDS available to every visitor to the jail. This information must include information concerning persons or entities to contact for local counseling and testing. The Department of Public Health and community-based organizations certified to provide HIV/AIDS testing must provide these informational materials to the warden at no cost to the office of the county sheriff.
    (d) Implementation of this Section is subject to appropriation.
