一个ID Doc刚刚诊断一个病人HIV. 这个病人要求他不要告诉他LD。
病人的LD找到这个医生, 要求医生告诉她诊断结果, 因为她非常担心她会得HIV。
这个医生说, 我不能告诉你诊断结果。 但我建议你做HIV检查。
在中国, HBV可能更加普遍, 好像这种事不是什么大不了的事。
你要是这个医生, 会怎么做?

可以旁敲侧击地提醒,比如,Using protection will give you peace of mind。但是
作为医生本人,手脚本来就是被法律困住的。

i would say:"you SHOULD wear protection for your safety" because she is in

as long as you don't make statement like "he is HIV positive", i don't think

i don't think so. the law is VERY CLEAR on this aspect:
***Under what circumstances can HIV-related information be disclosed without
an approved HIV release form?***
-For medical treatment:
* Medical professionals working on the treatment team with the person's
existing provider may discuss a patient's HIV-related information with each
other or with their supervisors, but only to give necessary care. A general
release is needed to disclose medical information to a provider who is not
affiliated with the person's current medical provider.
* With a general release, a hospital or health care provider may share
HIV-related information with a patient's insurance company if the
information is needed to pay for medical care.
* Medical personnel and certain other supervisory staff may have access
to HIV-related information to provide or monitor services if the person is
in jail or prison or is on parole.
* Disclosure may occur without consent in certain cases of on-the-job
exposure to HIV when all criteria for exposure have been met.
* Parents or guardians of a minor or individuals who are legally
authorized to provide consent can be given HIV-related information about the
person if it is necessary to provide timely care, unless it would not be in
the person's best interests to disclose the information.
-To monitor health care and disease prevention:
* Health care facility staff and committees, oversight review
organizations, or government agencies that are authorized to have access to
medical records may be given HIV-related information when it is needed to
supervise, monitor, or administer a health or social service.
* Known partners of an HIV-positive person must be notified that they
have been exposed to HIV by a physician or public health officer.
* Public health officials may have access to this information when
required by law (such as HIV/AIDS case reporting to monitor disease trends
and plan prevention programs).
-Other circumstances:
* Authorized agencies that work with prospective adoptive or foster
parents may have access to this information.
* A judge can issue a special court order that requires release of HIV-
related information. HIV-related information cannot be released in response
to a subpoena issued by an attorney.

Read this:
Warning Third Parties
Any physician who diagnoses a contagious disease has a duty to counsel the patient about the communicability of the disease and to ensure that any other persons at risk are warned. This duty has been clear and explicit in the laws of this country since the nineteenth century. This duty can be discharged directly, by warning the exposed individuals, or indirectly, by reporting the disease to public health officials or by counseling the patient to warn persons at risk. The proper method of discharging this duty to warn is shaped by the applicable reporting and privacy laws. The patient's privacy is BEST protected by indirect warnings through the health department. This route may be ineffective, however, in jurisdictions where the health department declines to warn persons who are exposed to communicable diseases such as HIV. For example, a physician who treated a married man with syphilis would have to report the disease to the local health department, which would contact the man's wife. They would interview her to determine if there were other contacts who might require treatment. The physician would have discharged his or her duty to warn the wife and to report disease. The health department also protects the patient's confidence. A disease investigator does not tell a contact to a communicable disease carrier who the carrier is--simply that there has been a contact.
In this case, if the wife has not had sexual relations with anyone except
her husband, she will know who her contact was. It is important to keep in
mind that the resulting family problems are not the fault of the reporting
physician if the health department does the warning. Conversely, if a
physician attempts to warn a person at risk and does so negligently, the
physician may be liable for the ensuing marital disharmony.

In this case, I would not say more other than " I could not disclose due to
HIPPA" There is clearly a conflict and potential breech of confidentiality.
But I will defer to health department/risk management.

I know if the HIV positive deliberately had unprotected sex could be sued
for sexual assault.
I think legally, you only can tell the patient, and report to the state. The
sex partner should ask that question by his/herself.
If you know he/she deliberately have unprotected sex, you have the
obligation to report, usually risk management or legal department of your
hospital.

I agree, this was written in textbook.
this is a clear case that confidentiality must be breached.
I wonder why the ID doctor didn't tell the HIV patient that by law, his
partner must be informed, either by
patient him/herself, or doctor. Actually, I think if the id doc doesn't
breach the confidentiality, he will get
trouble. Not the other way around.

Here is what AMA says, I guess it's a basic guideline when dealing with
patient confidentiality. Different states have different laws in regard of
the diseases that are public danger, such as STDs, whether to report them to
authorities depends on what the state law says. But the utmost important
thing in USA is an individual's rights. Physicians can easily get into
legal trouble if they are not following the laws, especially for us CMGs who
are from a totally different ethical background.

Known partners of an HIV-positive person must be notified that they have

Can we do this: print the page and show it to patient and tell him/her
that the partner will be informed regardless his/her consent or not, I am very sorry for this, but this
is by law, and then give him/her 3 options:
1. tell partner him/herself
2. I will tell
3. Health officer will tell

This is a standard casse in medical ethics course. It is interesting this
case can cause misunderstanding among chinese attending doctors. It seems
there is huge difference among china and US medical culture.This HIV
disclosure case was brought by a case about a mental patient told his doctor
he would kill his girl friend. The doctor failed to warn the women and she was
killed.
I remember there is a question in my step2 exam that a chinese son
refused the doctor to tell truth about his father's terminal cancer illness.
What the doctor should do?

Not that simple. You just can not follow a law and break the other. You
simply do not want to get into any troubles like that.
Like I said above, follow the law of HIPPA as a priority. Knowning your
responsibilities, hopefully you solve the issue with the patient to get his
consent. If he disagrees, you just do NOT confront him by breeching
confidentiality. You will get sued no matter what is going to happen. Do
you want the hassles? Of course not.
Defer to risk management/health agent and save your precious time and stay
away from the trouble.
The ID attending got fired eventually, not sure if it was relevant.
On a CS mock test, a resident argued about the same issue and also failed
the test, according to a website.

I brought this up because of the controversy.
Apparently the attending did a right thing(to his wife) but legally wrong(to

suggested her LD has HIV. This is violation of HIPPA.
How to warn the party? Read this please(it was in my post):

一个ID Doc刚刚诊断一个病人HIV. 这个病人要求他不要告诉他LD。
病人的LD找到这个医生, 要求医生告诉她诊断结果, 因为她非常担心她会得HIV。
这个医生说, 我不能告诉你诊断结果。 但我建议你做HIV检查。
在中国, HBV可能更加普遍, 好像这种事不是什么大不了的事。
你要是这个医生, 会怎么做?

i don't think so. the law is VERY CLEAR on this aspect:
***Under what circumstances can HIV-related information be disclosed without
an approved HIV release form?***
-For medical treatment:
* Medical professionals working on the treatment team with the person's
existing provider may discuss a patient's HIV-related information with each
other or with their supervisors, but only to give necessary care. A general
release is needed to disclose medical information to a provider who is not
affiliated with the person's current medical provider.
* With a general release, a hospital or health care provider may share
HIV-related information with a patient's insurance company if the
information is needed to pay for medical care.
* Medical personnel and certain other supervisory staff may have access
to HIV-related information to provide or monitor services if the person is
in jail or prison or is on parole.
* Disclosure may occur without consent in certain cases of on-the-job
exposure to HIV when all criteria for exposure have been met.
* Parents or guardians of a minor or individuals who are legally
authorized to provide consent can be given HIV-related information about the
person if it is necessary to provide timely care, unless it would not be in
the person's best interests to disclose the information.
-To monitor health care and disease prevention:
* Health care facility staff and committees, oversight review
organizations, or government agencies that are authorized to have access to
medical records may be given HIV-related information when it is needed to
supervise, monitor, or administer a health or social service.
* Known partners of an HIV-positive person must be notified that they
have been exposed to HIV by a physician or public health officer.
* Public health officials may have access to this information when
required by law (such as HIV/AIDS case reporting to monitor disease trends
and plan prevention programs).
-Other circumstances:
* Authorized agencies that work with prospective adoptive or foster
parents may have access to this information.
* A judge can issue a special court order that requires release of HIV-
related information. HIV-related information cannot be released in response
to a subpoena issued by an attorney.

Read this:
Warning Third Parties
Any physician who diagnoses a contagious disease has a duty to counsel the patient about the communicability of the disease and to ensure that any other persons at risk are warned. This duty has been clear and explicit in the laws of this country since the nineteenth century. This duty can be discharged directly, by warning the exposed individuals, or indirectly, by reporting the disease to public health officials or by counseling the patient to warn persons at risk. The proper method of discharging this duty to warn is shaped by the applicable reporting and privacy laws. The patient's privacy is BEST protected by indirect warnings through the health department. This route may be ineffective, however, in jurisdictions where the health department declines to warn persons who are exposed to communicable diseases such as HIV. For example, a physician who treated a married man with syphilis would have to report the disease to the local health department, which would contact the man's wife. They would interview her to determine if there were other contacts who might require treatment. The physician would have discharged his or her duty to warn the wife and to report disease. The health department also protects the patient's confidence. A disease investigator does not tell a contact to a communicable disease carrier who the carrier is--simply that there has been a contact.
In this case, if the wife has not had sexual relations with anyone except
her husband, she will know who her contact was. It is important to keep in
mind that the resulting family problems are not the fault of the reporting
physician if the health department does the warning. Conversely, if a
physician attempts to warn a person at risk and does so negligently, the
physician may be liable for the ensuing marital disharmony.

I know if the HIV positive deliberately had unprotected sex could be sued
for sexual assault.
I think legally, you only can tell the patient, and report to the state. The
sex partner should ask that question by his/herself.
If you know he/she deliberately have unprotected sex, you have the
obligation to report, usually risk management or legal department of your
hospital.

I agree, this was written in textbook.
this is a clear case that confidentiality must be breached.
I wonder why the ID doctor didn't tell the HIV patient that by law, his
partner must be informed, either by
patient him/herself, or doctor. Actually, I think if the id doc doesn't
breach the confidentiality, he will get
trouble. Not the other way around.

Here is what AMA says, I guess it's a basic guideline when dealing with
patient confidentiality. Different states have different laws in regard of
the diseases that are public danger, such as STDs, whether to report them to
authorities depends on what the state law says. But the utmost important
thing in USA is an individual's rights. Physicians can easily get into
legal trouble if they are not following the laws, especially for us CMGs who
are from a totally different ethical background.

This is a standard casse in medical ethics course. It is interesting this
case can cause misunderstanding among chinese attending doctors. It seems
there is huge difference among china and US medical culture.This HIV
disclosure case was brought by a case about a mental patient told his doctor
he would kill his girl friend. The doctor failed to warn the women and she was
killed.
I remember there is a question in my step2 exam that a chinese son
refused the doctor to tell truth about his father's terminal cancer illness.

Not that simple. You just can not follow a law and break the other. You
simply do not want to get into any troubles like that.
Like I said above, follow the law of HIPPA as a priority. Knowning your
responsibilities, hopefully you solve the issue with the patient to get his
consent. If he disagrees, you just do NOT confront him by breeching
confidentiality. You will get sued no matter what is going to happen. Do
you want the hassles? Of course not.
Defer to risk management/health agent and save your precious time and stay
away from the trouble.
The ID attending got fired eventually, not sure if it was relevant.
On a CS mock test, a resident argued about the same issue and also failed
the test, according to a website.
