Introduction
It is everyone’s legal right to privacy of their health information,
including information about your HIV infection. It is therefore upon an
individual to decide whether they want to disclose their HIV status or not. It
has occurred in many instances that people’s HIV status is disclosed against
their will or even without their knowledge. This has caused many problems for
the victims. There are repercussions to such acts though. One may be able to
sue or just take legal action against them.
