An HIV informed consent form is used to allow a medical professional to perform an HIV antibody test on a patient. This test determines whether there is a presence of HIV antibodies within a patient’s body. The test will be made using a blood or oral sample taken from the patient. The form affirms that the patient understands the contagious nature of the virus and who will have the right to request to see the results of the test. This acknowledgment is important, because if the individual tests positive and spreads HIV/AIDS to another person, this document proves their foreknowledge of the risks of infecting others.
