Section 1
Patrick Green
Patrick Green is 26 years of age and lives with his partner James. Patrick has recently discovered that James
had a brief relationship with someone who was HIV positive. Patrick and James do not use condoms, and
Patrick is now worried about his own sexual health. Patrick attends a martial arts club at the centre.
Patrick spoke to Jeff, the martial arts trainer, about his concerns. Jeff realised that this was a
confidential matter, and asked Patrick’s permission to arrange a consultation with the sexual health adviser,
Simon, who provides a service at the centre on Saturday mornings. Now that Jeff has referred Patrick to the
appropriate professional, he will not discuss the matter with anyone, recognising Patrick’s right to
confidentiality.
Patrick expressed the concern that, should he prove to be HIV positive, he would no longer be accepted as a
member of the martial arts club. However, he has been reassured that he will retain access to all facilities and
be treated with the same courtesy.
Patrick has been assured by Simon that all information will be remain confidential and will not affect his status
at the centre.
Simon has advised Patrick to make a further appointment includes James, as he is also at risk and may have
transmitted any infection to Patrick, due to their lack of protection during relations. Simon also advised that
Patrick and James should now use protection and has advised a source of free condoms.
Simon met with Patrick and James and with their consent arranged a consultation at the Terence Higgins Trust
who arranged blood tests for both individuals.
As both Patrick and James have now tested positive for HIV, they have been offered the choice of online
counselling or a face-to-face appointment with a counsellor at the Terence Higgins Trust.
Patrick and James have also consulted their local G.P. who will conduct a series of blood tests before
prescribing antiretroviral treatment. The G.P. has worked with Patrick and James to produce a treatment plan
that incorporates necessary changes to their lifestyle and involves the counsellor and a nutritionist to support
both individuals.
Patrick and James are currently living in private rented accommodation and are anxious that the landlord does
not discover their health status. The G.P. has assured them
of confidentiality, but has asked their permission to arrange a visit with a local housing officer to discuss their
needs.
