Reclaiming my time, on page 2, lines 12 through 19, it says that the State shall require the following: an AIDS test if the nature of the activity would have placed the victim at risk of becoming infected or the victim requested the defendants to be so tested. So if the victim requested the defendant to be so tested, even though there is no chance of a transmission, then the test goes forward anyway.
