Section 2300. Venereal disease; examination or isolation

1. Whenever a
  health officer to whom cases of venereal diseases  are  required  to  be
  reported  shall have reasonable ground to believe that any person within
  his jurisdiction is infected with  any  venereal  disease,  such  health
  officer  may  cause  a medical examination to be made for the purpose of
  ascertaining whether such person is in fact infected with  such  disease
  in a stage which is or may become communicable.
    2.  Every such person shall submit to such examination and permit such
  specimens of blood or bodily  discharges,  or  both,  to  be  taken  for
  laboratory  examination as may be necessary to establish the presence or
  absence of such disease, or, upon refusal to do so, such person shall be
  isolated by such health officer.
    3. The required examination may be made by the health officer or by  a
  physician  selected  by  him,  or,  at  the  option  of the person to be
  examined, by a licensed physician who, in the  opinion  of  such  health
  officer,  is qualified to make such medical examinations and is approved
  by him.
    4. Any person so examined may be isolated until the  results  of  such
  examination are known.
    5. The physician making such examination shall report promptly thereon
  to  such  health  officer,  but shall not issue a certificate of freedom
  from venereal disease to or for the person examined
    6. The term "health officer" as used in  this  article  shall  mean  a
  county  health  officer,  a county commissioner of health, a city health
  officer, a town health officer, a village  health  officer,  the  health
  officer  of  a  consolidated  health district or a state district health
  officer.
