If this is the case, then the law HAS TO BE CHANGED!

No, according to the nurse - this is the best possible law, because: you must be aware of EVERY kid, AND, the way HIV develops over time, it is actually impossible to "inform" you who has HIV because many kids (and their parents) don't know the kid has HIV. Believe me, this became a heated discussion, but in the end, I agreed with the nurse, even though my reaction at first was the same as yours. How can they tell you if they don't even know about some kids (because some kids don't even know)?

PS It was very heated between the teachers/fathers and this nurse. I just listened. The nurse was very intelligent and argued her point well by giving facts about how the disease develops. NautiNurse, see post #19 - any comments?
