Important Health Notices/Announcements

Important Announcement for Siena Community:

12/2/2010: Governor David Patterson signed Chapter 308 of the Laws of 2010 authorizing significant changes in HIV testing in New York State. The intent of the legislation is to offer HIV testing in New York consistent with HIV testing recommendations issued by federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Under the new law, HIV testing must be offered to every individual between the ages of 13-64 receiving hospital or primary care services with limited exceptions.

In accordance with this new law, Siena College Health Services is offering HIV testing to all students who utilize our service. HIV testing can be done in Health Service at the time of your appointment and billed through your health insurance company. We can also provide you with a list of confidential, anonymous testing sites in Albany County.
