...You did the right thing Doc. There ARE laws in place to protect you and the patient. Giving in to your conscience would have involved human reasoning and the laws are in place to take that away in this society, so as, you do not have to get involved in their relationship. Takes the stresses factor out of your career. HIPAA and peoples Civil Rights.
As an HIV+ man since 1989 and having lost my partner to A.I.D.S. in 1992, I believe that everyone must assume that EVERYONE IS POSITIVE until proven otherwise. CONDOMS, CONDOMS, CONDOMS is the rule of the day. Ben Simmons (retired, R.N.)
I have yet to hear from another guy on the otherside of a gloryhole what his status is. Personally, I prefer not to have oral sex when the other is wearing a condom. It defeats the purpose of oral sex.
hi this is to mike in st.lou do you honestly believe what you posted there are a lot of innoscent pe ople mainly women infected by someone who swore to the end they were neg and these are good descent women WHO DID PRACTICE SAFE SEX I THINK IF YOU ARE POZ AND YOU KNOW GET OUT OF DENIAL YOU ARE TAKING INNOSCENT LIVES, ITS NO EXSCUSE TO INFECT ANOTHER PERSON WITH FREE TESTING AVAILABLE........ITS JUST NO EXSCUSE P.S. IM POZ TOO BUT I REFUSE TO IMPOSE ON INNOSCENT PEOPLE...
I believe STRONGLY that every HIV negative person has an obligation to assume that everyone they sleep with is HIV positive until told or proven otherwise. The burden can't just be placed on HIV+ people to do all the work. Having a disease like this is psychologically debilitating enough. Anybody having sex should know that the possibility is out there. Maybe they haven't even tested positive yet. The solution is to pretend everyone is HIV+. Stop waiting for everyone else to protect you.
Ignorance is to blame. Obviously they dont know each other too well. He can only blame himself not others I pitied the person I contracted it from, and he in the end who really wants to contract it? Look listen learn there must be some kind of clue a potential partner is lieing about his status. Get checked out together Yay!
i dont agree with the ones who try to blame neg people how can you if a person know they are poz why not tell the person why ruin another life cuz yours is ruin i think its selfish and low down i cant believe people are blaming people who were once neg cuz of thier risky life style and then they are wolves in sheep clothing get real if you have hiv and know it i thinks its only humane you let the other person know!!!!!
DISCLOSE!!!!!
i feel like this, if im in a monogamus relation with you and you know you have aids and just lie down with me and i ask and you lie YOU PUT ME AT RISK,CUZ IF YOU WOULD HAVE TOLD ME I WOULDNT HAVE EVER GAVE YOU THE TIME OF DAY....I DONT FAULT THE DOC I BLAME MIGUEL.....
