A bill to require defendants charged with criminal sexual conduct to undergo testing for HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases at the request of victims could help the island address criminal sexual conduct cases, according to testimony on the proposal.
While providing victims of criminal sexual conduct an avenue to determine potential exposure to STDs early on, it would also help the island comply with a nearly $900,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice to the Bureau of Women s Affairs. A condition of the grant is that Guam meets certain requirements concerning HIV testing of defendants charged with sexual offenses.
