In most countries now the only w/o consent HIV is a rapid test in cases of needle stick or exposure screening - and then one should test oneself at the same time!

I got my copy of Jems magazine the yesterday, and it had the new HIV update. I was reading it, and got curious, any staff out there draw HIV tests w/o consent in trauma resucs? Or is this in the instance of an exposure only?
