(1) to require or prohibit any State from providing that identifying information concerning individuals with HIV disease is required to be submitted to the State; or

“(2) in the case of such individuals who have undergone HIV testing, the number of such individuals determined through such tests to have HIV disease;
“(3) the extent to which such programs have, in the case of such individuals, resulted in behavioral changes that are effective regarding the prevention of exposure to, and the transmission of, HIV disease; and
“(4) the extent to which such programs represent a cost effective use of available HIV-related resources.
“(b) Report.—Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act [Aug. 18, 1990], the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall complete the study required under subsection (a) and prepare and submit, to the appropriate committees of Congress, a report describing the findings made as a result of such study.”
