Most state laws, however, don't yet address the issue of consent for screening for HIV in asymptomatic adolescents. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises that physicians obtain advice regarding the disposition of laws in their state addressing consent or other legal obligations from their attorney or another trusted local source, such as their hospital's office of legal compliance. The AAP Committee on Pediatric AIDS is expected to issue a statement in response to the CDC guidelines sometime in 2007.
