Summary
The Selangor Fatwa Committee resolved that a health screening programme is compulsory for Muslims who intend to marry, whether in or outside Selangor, and for those married abroad who wish to re-register in Selangor. The initial test is a rapid test at a government clinic or health centre. A non-reactive result allows the marriage application to proceed as usual, while a reactive result leads to a blood test at designated laboratories. Those confirmed HIV positive must attend counselling, and the counsellor may call in the partner and close family members where necessary.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
