Issues of disclosure, privacy, and confidentiality are an important concern when working with patients or peers infected with blood-borne illnesses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency virus (AIDS), hepatitis, and sexually transmitted illnesses. A nurse will care for patients with these illnesses in every segment of nursing practice. A nurse should always use standard precautions as a standard of care when caring for all patients. The 1995 American Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to persons with AIDS. This federal law protects the rights of disabled people and HIV-infected patients. |
