<h1><font face="book antiqua, times new roman, times" mstheme>Case Study 5</font></h1>
<p>You are working as a nurse in a GP surgery and during a pre-test discussion for HIV a
patient expresses concern about insurances. He is an extremely high risk of infection
given that his partner John is HIV positive. What advice would you give? John attends your
surgery regularly as he is an insulin dependant diabetic. Only last week your GP
colleague, who is not aware of John’s HIV status, has asked if you will assist him to
complete health insurance assessment forms for John. You have a dilemma since John has not
informed the company of his diagnosis and he telephoned you to ask that you withhold that
information from them. The forms are still on your desk.<o:p></o:p></p>
