If Larry stated that he was going to have a dental surgery next week – could Dr. Fisher disclose his HIV status to Larry’s dentist? Dr. Fisher should disclose Larry’s HIV status to the dentist. This will be in line with CDC’s guidelines so as to guarantee all medical providers are notified to any infectious disease and take required precautionary steps. Because dentists and their equipment come into touch with saliva and blood, it is critical that they be informed prior to surgery. This will guarantee that the dentist cleans all tools thoroughly before reuse, so all measures are in place much more carefully. Balancing the need for the privacy against the right to know - what is your recommendation – What should Dr. Fisher do? Should Dr. Fisher inform Kristen? While alerting Kristen may seem morally and ethically correct, Dr. Fisher may be legally liable for violating Larry's patient confidentiality rights. Thus, according to procedure, Dr. Fisher could alert the state's healthcare authorities to the situation, and they might visit the patient's home to examine, monitor, and treat him. This protects Dr. Fisher legally and relieves Larry's concern as he is attempting to understand his own diagnosis. Dr Fisher should also encourage Larry and Kristen to understand that living together is better for their mental and emotional health.
