Imagine working in the health care system and constantly espousing the HMI Live concerts. You know of three gorgeous , educated and good looking ladies who are "HIV" positive. Though You are bound to patient confidentiality; You know for facts that those ladies are having affairs with well know married HMI artistssssss.
What would you do in such a situation?...............your opinions is greatly appreciated

I believe it is a criminal act to knowingly spread the HIV virus.

A healthcare professional should know the circumstances under which it is ok to breach patient confidentiality.

This one here is a tough call, since you cannot discuss your patients’ medical history with others.

Siro it is a crime but at that point it would be too late.

The person with HIV virus goes through several stages as you, (denial, why me, anger, acceptance etc.,,,) to a point where they know that they are going to die anyway, therefore may not care about criminal charges.

Do you tell the superstars or not?

Would you feel guily for not telling?

As if this post was not disconcerting enough, I keep thinking about the consequences of this ordeal and about just how many people might be infected as a result. I don’t think you should risk your job by telling; artists should know better.

This should serve as wake-up call for artists that believe philandering their way out in the streets is a respectable way of living.

It is certainly a crime and can be prosecuted in a court of law......What is really heartbroken revolved from the fact that one of the HMI artist's wife is expecting a baby for the first time.

Thank you for those opinions.....Keep them coming

This question is not a so tough question as you may think it is...

As a Health Care Provider, you know the law of confidentiality: anything about your patient is confidential and you should discuss it with the patient only - whenever you close the patient's chart and the patient is not in front of you anymore, he/she (patient) should be considered like everyone else (whatever) he/she is HIV positive or not

As a Health Care Provider, it's not your duty and it's even against the law to go tell so and so that he/she (patient) is suffering from this or that (whatever is in the patient's chart) You definitely don't have any right to go tell anyone (artists included) a patient's business

As a health Care Provider, you should know that your job is to educate, not only your patients but also the public (artists included) - You may educate your HIV patients about the scenario of getting other strain of HIV virus that can compromise more his/her current treatment (means that it's not because someone is HIV positive that life is over, the HIV positive patient can still protect him/herself from different strain of HIV virus more fatal)

As a Health Care Provider, once you have done your job to educate your patients about their health conditions and the consequences; once you have done your job to educate the public in general (abstinence, use of condom, get checked,...) you don't have to be a soldier following your patients to parties to see whom they are going out with and/or warning your favorite artists about who may be positive or not...

As a Health Care Provider, it's not worth losing your license after 11 to 15 years of studying because of your favorite artist who is supposed to know better the whole health situation nowadays...
