(A) No state agency as defined in section 1.60 of the Revised Code , political subdivision, agency of local government, or private nonprofit corporation

certified nurse-midwife, clinical nurse specialist, certified nurse practitioner,
or a person licensed to practice dentistry under Chapter 4715. of the Revised Code
from referring an individual the physician, nurse, or dentist has reason to believe

solely on grounds of the refusal of the individual to consent to an HIV test or to
disclose the result of an HIV test.
