Under ARS 13-1210, an employee who is a victim of an inmate assault may do what?

• A. Petition the court for HIV source testing on the inmate.
• B. Request transfer to another facility.
• C. Appeal to the board of supervisors.
• D. File a civil suit.

Answer: (A)

When an employee is attacked by an inmate, the law provides a specific step to address potential HIV exposure. ARS 13-1210 allows the employee to petition the court to order HIV source testing on the inmate. This option is about quickly determining the HIV status of the person who caused the assault so that appropriate medical follow-up and safety decisions can be made. The other actions listed aren’t the remedy described by this statute in this context: transferring the employee to another facility is an administrative matter, appealing to the board of supervisors isn’t a medical-exposure remedy, and filing a civil suit is a separate civil action not the post-exposure testing provision addressed here.
