TITLE 18. PROFESSIONAL AND
OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING
BOARD OF MEDICINE
Agency Decision
Title of Regulation: 18VAC85-20.
Regulations Governing the Practice of Medicine, Osteopathic Medicine, Podiatry,
and Chiropractic.
Statutory Authority: § 54.1-2400 of the Code of
Virginia.
Name of Petitioner: Mitch Gray.
Nature of Petitioner's Request: The petition for
rulemaking requests an amendment to requirements for standards for professional
conduct in the practice of medicine. Specifically, it requests the addition of
a requirement for physicians to wear gloves when conducting a genital
examination to protect both the patient against the perception of sexual
conduct and the physician against the transmission of sexually-transmitted
disease.
Agency Decision: Request denied.
Statement of Reason for Decision: At its June 16, 2016,
meeting, the Board of Medicine decided not to initiate rulemaking. While
members agreed that wearing of gloves is the standard of care for most
patients, it did not agree that this commonplace practice needed to be singled
out for regulatory action.
