Moving beyond the Subcommittee’s recommendations, both institutions will work, within the context of the health subcommittee set up to prepare this report, on a regulation concerning HIV/AIDS tests for adolescents under the age of 18 who are in the juvenile criminal responsibility system. In addition to this, they will establish a treatment protocol for patients with HIV/AIDS and STIs, explicitly preventing discrimination within centres directly administered by SENAME. It is hoped that both rules will come into effect during the second half of 2017. 115.

In addition, the Ministry of Health will send instructions to expedite the evaluation processes that allow the judicial authorities to expedite suspension of psychiatric hospital admissions. These instructions will be distributed no later than 30 March 2017. 3.3 Conditions of detention 3.3.1 Infrastructure 117.
