Are you kidding? Emergency departments are already overburdened with too many patients and too few staff. Now you want them to HIV test every single patient that walks in the ED? Even the simple sprained ankles?

Unless this commission plans to provide additional staff members to deal with the HIV testing, ED’s will grind to a halt.
