This people are talking trash. It's only in Naija that HIV patients hide identities. In developed countries, it's a crime to do so. You openly tell people about your status so that they know how to associate with you and you also have your community and live well. Are they now saying it's good to hide and share the virus? Awon were!
No, that's not true. Infact it is only in Nigeria that a nurse will disclose patient's status to others and stigmatize patient without facing any law. In foreign countries, eg USA, a professional nurse has NO right to disclose patient status to anyone neither is he/ she allowed to share it with colleagues in order to make fun of this patient. However, a nurse can give feedback to his/her co worker concerning patient status if the nurse is about to be relieved from the shift because the next nurse or nurses will need feedback in order to continue with the patient treatment. Patient has the right to disclose his/ her status to whosoever he/she want but in a situation mentioned here, the nurse deserve to face the law.
