A victim of sexual violence can apply to court for an order to have person who committed the sexual violence have an HIV test and for the results of the test to be given to the victim. This application can also be brought by any person that has an interest in the victim’s well-being or the investigating officer investigating the case. The application must be brought within 90 days after the act of sexual violence was committed.
