Ethics - Disclosure of doctors with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy
Abstract
The Southern African HIV Clinicians Society initiated an online discussion forum on ‘HIV Ethics and Policy\' in 2007. The first case study concerned the ethical question of whether a surgeon with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy should have disclosed her HIV status to her patient when she discovered blood on the inside of the first of her double gloves after surgery. The case study, and some responses submitted to the forum, follow below.
