They established in the first few chapters that the disease is known to be real and that help exists for it, but that doesn't really make it any easier for the victims to prove they're victims of the disease. They'd still need to do a bunch of tests to prove whether or not the person is infected, and the whole time those tests are being ran, they'll be under suspicions of committing identity fraud among other charges such as breaking and entering, and theft. That's a lot of pressure on the person when a simple faulty test kit or false negative can leave them not only with no way to prove their identity, but also with a bunch of fines and potential jail time on top of their medical expenses because they can't be identified, they might even get deported because their citizenship cannot be proven. It also would not stop people from being weirded out by it, or from taking advantage of the insecurity.It's not about prevention though, it's about proving that the disease is real, which seems to be a significant portion of the MC's troubles.
You actually see people fall through the cracks all the time with the legal system like this in reality too, they fall victim to some crime and don't step forward because they fear the social repercussions when it gets out that they were a victim and the potential repercussions of the charges not going through. So they bury that fact and often end up perpetuating the crime, continuing to fall victim to it over and over until someone else reports it and the criminal gets taken in.
