An advantage of anonymous testing may be that it increases the number of people who are willing to be tested,because many of those at risk are engaged in illegal activities.The anonymity eliminates their concern about the possibility of arrest or discrimination.If testing is anonymous,the client is given an identification coade number that is attached to all records of the test results and is not linked to the person's name and address.Demographic data such as the person's sex,age,and race may be collected,but there is no record of the client's name and associated identifying information.Thus,the client is able to know the results of the test while staying anonymous.It would be a violation of HIPAA for the providers to share the results of this test or any other medical information with family members.The follow up related to payment is not a main concern for the population who is requesting anonymous testing.
