Your 36-year-old patient has just tested positive for HIV. He asks that you not inform his wife of the results and claims he is not ready to tell her yet. You also are aware that your sister has been seeing this man.

What is your role legally? What would you say to your patient? Would you tell your sister?

Bergalis was one of six patients infected with HIV after visiting David J. Acer, the Florida dentist who had AIDS. This incident is the first known case of clinical transmission of HIV. The claim asserted the Dr. Acer infected others with HIV and that his patients were unaware of his status. As a result, one of those patients, Kimberly Ann Bergalis, died of AIDS at the age of 23. In addition to being the first known clinical transmission , it also bears the designation as being the first known case of a transmission of the disease that was "innocent exposure" during a dental procedure. Investigation into this case, in the 1980's proved that Dr. Acer was not using universal precautions-he was working on patients without any gloves and reusing unsterilized instruments. As a result of this case, in 1985 OSHA began to require that all healthcare providers use universal precautions when treating any patients in any area of health care. With all the past and current AIDS/HIV education, we still have many people exposed and dying from AIDS/HIV. 1. Should it be mandated that healthcare workers with a positive HIV status must inform their patients? 2. What can be done, specifically, to prevent exposures? 3. What consequences should be facing a provider who takes these actions today?
