HIV testing: infants.

Existing law provides that a child may come within the jurisdiction of the juvenile court and become a dependent child of the court in, among others, cases of abuse and neglect. Under existing law, when a minor has been, or has a petition filed with the court to be, adjudged a dependent child of the court, the court may authorize, or order that a social worker may authorize, medical care for the minor, as prescribed. Under existing law, a social worker may, without court order, authorize medical care for a minor in emergency situations, as specified.
