About time, Public Health is not what it use to be. If this had been done when the epidemic first started many people would still be alive and the epidemic would have moderated. What did happen was a politically correct lobby for non testing and anonymity for the infected. Regulations specifically prevented diagnosis of HIV without patient consent. Hospitals were forced into universal precautions, which amounted to no isolation at all. Imagine a surgeon operating on patients without knowing the HIV status.
