A couple of patients may be seen at the HIV services in St. James's Hospital but that would have nothing to do with the community setting. They do not want people in the community setting to know anything about their HIV status. With stigma, how do we protect the patient's right to keep that as their own private business and limit the amount of people who can access such data? Sharing data is one thing, but when one starts putting limitations in does it not all fall asunder because one is not getting good data in and out?
