1. (a) Notification about positive results. If a child in the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services' (TDPRS's) conservatorship has acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), or if the results of a child's human-immunodeficiency-virus (HIV) antibodies test have been confirmed as positive as specified in §700.1401(e) of this title (relating to Testing Children in TDPRS's Conservatorship for HIV Antibodies), TDPRS must inform the following parties of the child's condition:

   1. (1) the child's legal parents (if their whereabouts are known); and
   2. (2) the foster parents, 24-hour child-care providers, prospective adoptive parents, or relatives with whom the child has been placed or with whom TDPRS plans to place the child.
2. (b) Notification about negative results. If the results of a child's HIV-antibodies test are negative, TDPRS may inform the child's caregivers about the negative results and any related counseling issues if doing so is likely to help the caregivers provide appropriate care.
