     3  read as follows:
     4    §  2135.  Confidentiality.  All  reports or information secured by the
     5  department, municipal health commissioner  or  district  health  officer
     6  under  the provisions of this title shall be confidential except: (a) in
     7  so far as is necessary to carry out the provisions of  this  title;  (b)
     8  when  used in the aggregate, without patient specific identifying infor-
     9  mation, in programs approved by the commissioner for the improvement  of
    10  the  quality of medical care provided to persons with HIV/AIDS; (c) when
    11  used within the state  or  local  health  department  by  public  health
    12  disease programs to assess co-morbidity or completeness of reporting and
