Blood exposure

The Mandatory Blood Testing Act ensures that specific health care providers, victims of crime, persons providing emergency services, first aid or correctional services get faster access to information that can help them decide treatment or preventive measures should they be exposed to HIV, hepatitis B and C.

Mandatory Blood Testing Forms must be filled out by a physician, as well as the exposed person.  Call Public Health at 905-546-2489 to let us know you are sending a form, due to time sensitivity.  Fax completed Mandatory Blood Testing Forms to 905-546-4078.
