Hmmmmm......
WHISTLEBLOWER ALERT
I read the chronicle about HIV, and I want to say that AIDS is real.
I work in a hospital as a Health care assistant, there is this lady admitted in there, she has it. Everyone going into her ward is always cautious and we tke extra care to be well protected when attending to her.....
Her man is always there with her and is caring and loving. He has been asking for the cause of her illness and she keeps telling him it's very high malaria and typhoid . The lady has indicated for her status not to be disclosed to him ....#
If you see the way he kisses and hugs her ehn, I just pray she doesn't infect the guy, or whether she has infected him sef.
I am thinking of how to disclose this to the guy without anybody knowing. Any suggestions on how to go about this bvs?
Everybody should be careful out there, HIV and AIDS is real.
Alert him but use someone ellse to do it..........Dont do it at the hospital,get their address and get to work or you drop him a letter on his car or whatever...just take your time but do it!
Very wicked lady .
ReplyDeleteA friend was about getting married and the church asked for their medical results only to find out the lady has HIV and didn't tell my friend...this was just 2days to the wedding, which didn't hold..
Please tell him, I don’t support this kind of secret
ReplyDeleteFan Emmanuel
She's very wicked.
ReplyDeletePlease inform the man of her status immediately via anonymously or any means possible.
DOZZYBEST
She is very wicked, heartless and can kill somebody for hiding such from his man.
ReplyDeletePoster call the man's attention when he is alone, get his phone number and let him know.
Let him check himself and start treatment Incase.
Pls drop note at any opportunity so that his life can be saved
ReplyDeleteGet a new sim card, disguise your voice and tell him.
DeleteIf you keep quiet and he gets it, and spread it even to your dear ones, God forbid...
Spill codedly.
Tell your boss, to tell the man to run test and know his status in a jovial cunny way.
DeleteDon't tell your boss anything o. Tell the man codedly by disguising your identity. You an use a third party who doesn't work in the hospital
DeleteI don't know what the law says about disclosing the status of HIV carrier. So she doesn't sue you. I will advise you tell the lady to inform him herself. That if she doesn't, that the hospital will do it themselves. Give her that privilege. She will succum to this
ReplyDeleteLet it be on paper to avoid been sued
What if she lies to Health Care Assistant that the man is aware of her HIV status? What if she even lies that man is infected?
DeleteThis is a tough one.
ReplyDeleteDo what your conscience is okay with.
That lady is heartless. God know say if na me be the nurses I for don do amebo tey tey, I know dey carry last for that kind of amebo.
ReplyDelete*** Hey my mouth is open*** This is a quagmire...Poster I understand that you are torn between breaching professionalism, revealing confidential personal information to her boyfriend and doing what is morally right...She is very callous.....
ReplyDeleteHave you discussed this with your supervisor or superior on what is happening...A senior medical professional can speak & encourage her to disclose her status to her partner......What she is doing is criminally wrong....Keep encouraging & counseling her to disclose her status or maybe ask if she wants it disclosed to him on her behalf (This should be a written consent).......
If she has been spoken to and she does not oblige.....Your boss or colleagues can come up with a plan like you are speaking with all visitors to the hospital about HIV/AIDs and the importance of checking their status regularly....You guys can go ahead to ask him if he knows his status, if he consents to it, let him run the test and show him the results...I just pray he hasn't contacted it....
This is the only way I think you should go about it so you don't attract any litigation to your hospital or going against the ethics of your profession.....Her health status is confidential at the end of the day....
If you don't follow my advice, whatever you do please be very very very careful and make sure you cover your tracks.....
All the best....
Poster follow this
DeletePoster I wish you'd listen to Phoenix and bv Straight Guy. Best advice.
DeleteI'm so pissed off right now. How callous can she be goossh. Maybe you should write in a note, give it to a random person to give to him. Try not to make it look like the writing is yours.
ReplyDeleteIf the guy was your son or brother
ReplyDeleteWhat would you do ?
Check the lady's case file if her boyfriend's number is there as next of kin, then send anonymous message to the guy
ReplyDeleteDraft a letter to him not writing it so you ain't detected from your handwriting. It should be made compulsory that once you have been tested, You are obligated to provide all your current and former sexual partners contact details so they can be anonymously informed to go test themselves out.
ReplyDeleteJust as loan sharks clone contact numbers from your phone same should be applied please. I remember in FGC then HIV/AIDS and ABORTION awareness via talks, movies, pamphlets were rigorously done to imbibe it into our consciousness. Such needs to be implemented again.
CELIBACY is still Golden
Whatever you do ensure you don't lose your job
ReplyDeleteLabour Market is tough
Wicked witch 😠😠😠. Please squeal on her.
ReplyDeleteEvery adult has a responsibility to safe guard their health. As a health worker in Nigeria, confidentiality is 💯 expected from you.
ReplyDeleteHowever, if it was in other countries , they have laws that mandate the doctor to inform the partner.
And how do you know he isn’t aware sef?. Or do you think HIV is responsible for every illness a positive patient suffers from?. She could be right, she is positive doesn’t mean that the particular ill health that got her admitted isn’t malaria and the likes. Please educate yourself dear HCA
She wouldn't have warned them not to tell him if he is aware of her status??
DeleteLet him know anonymously, please.
ReplyDeletemy friend had a baby from his girlfriend and we went to see him in the hospital. the girl was very skinny judging from the last time i saw her. She was kept in isolation, like a small room inside a big empty ward o. I shock.
ReplyDeleteNext thing, doctors came around and gave him a list of drugs to get from the pharmacy, na so the guy say make i help am go there o, say e wan go carry see baby for where them keep am. As i dey go, i read the list and i saw antiretroviral. Afraid catch me.
I go pharmacy o, na so dem say make i go meet one counselor, i come open up say no be me be papa o, na my friend be papa, say e go see em pikin for where dem keep am. Na so dem dey shout say "the instruction was the father should be sent to get the drugs".
This guy don reach where dem keep baby o, na so e see the different stickers abi posters for wall, all of them talking about infected kids abi kids with HIV.

The next day, the baby died.

i had to go to work o, so i didn't check on my guy o.
A week later he unalived himself.
Turned out he was infected by the girlfriend o.
since then, womanizing in calabar reduced to ALARP
Omg
DeleteHow do you know that she is not taking precautions already with her husband and children. You see only one side, and your viewpoint is based on ONLY what you are capable of seeing. It is unethical of you to make value judgments in your line of work. Because you have come into privileged information does not make your judge, jury and executioner of anyone's life. Attend to the job you were hired to do, which is nursing, and let God do His work. Today it's HIV, tomorrow it will be abortion, then it will be someone you feel should stop having children because they are low-income, then it will be gay people, then people who are seck workers, then ppl of a different tribe or religion. You start this mission you will become a busybody, feeling that you have been bestowed with some divine calling to right the wrongs of the world through your line of work. Go read the stories of nurses who k!ll patients, it all starts from somewhere, and they all feel they were justified and doing the right thing. Leave that family alone!
ReplyDeleteIf you like cry from now till eternity.
DeleteThat guy deserves to know what he is getting himself into.
Let ppl leave their comment in peace. How many comments before mine saying she should tell him and I disturbed no one. Is the comment for you or the poster? Mtsscchhwww
DeleteMisses Dogood, disclosing peoples medical information is illegal. You should know that if you went to any school, Nurse Eliza.
ReplyDeleteYou better face your work
Tell him, get a sim or hide your number, just look for way and tell him, you, will be saving a life. The lady is very heartless.
ReplyDeleteTell him o. Maybe you monitor his moves, and drop a short note on his car, when he's aviut to leave. But pls disguise yourself o (in case there is CCTV), or you get someone to drop it. He NEEDS to know.
ReplyDeletePlease send him anonymous message. He deserves to know. I don't think the girl truly loves him cos if she did she wouldn't have risked the guys life like that.
ReplyDeleteSis write it in a small paper, fold it and know how to drop it in his bag anytime he comes around
ReplyDeleteCelibacy saves you from lots and lots of things....hmmmm
ReplyDeleteHIPPAA protects the patient medical information. Health care workers are not mandated to inform the relative of a patient the patients HIV status.
ReplyDeleteYou are meant to continously educate the patient on the need to. Depending on your location you are meant to inform the public heath officials, they can then anonymously inform the partner if deemed necessary...
Also note some states have a duty to warn law especially in cases where the patient ain't willing to disclose and putting the life of another at risk.
Look at the laws available at where you reside
*Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act- HIPAA not HIPPAA
DeleteIn saner climates, it is a criminal offence not to declare one's HIV status, but in your society anything goes! Shame!
ReplyDeletePls in this case dont mind your business, tell her boyfriend!! Nigerians are very deceitful, both male and female.
You need to be in a different profession
ReplyDeleteIf you can’t stomach people’s secrets, move yo something else. I’m in a secret keeping job so don’t say I don’t understand
You’ll inevitably get yourself in big trouble if you keep thinking this way
In a sane climate isn't it illegal not to disclose?
Delete18:06 if it was legal to tell where she is, management would have handled it
DeleteShe knows she shouldn’t tell that’s why she’s asking
18:06, in England, the doctor can override the patients decision and tell. HIV is the only STI im aware the law is for.
DeleteI can imagine you guys in full COVID gear protection when attending to her.
ReplyDeleteDon’t mind them. A hospital should follow standard protocols for everyone everyday. Cos, the day you might slack and assume someone doesn’t have a communicable disease is the day you will jam someone carrying 3 and above
DeleteShe is wicked and playing a deadly game with the man,ha I beg alert the man quick to avoid been infected,who knows the man might need the treatment too.......... Josaria
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteHummm.
Please and Please you don't have any right to disclose that patient's status to her husband.
The only way that man can know is whenever that woman accepts to disclose.
Counselling is an essential and effective tool to achieve this and it should be done by someone with experience and expertise repeatedly. Most times it works ( I have seen many scenarios)
Don't go and cause problems for yourself o.
Are doctors and Nurses not in that ward/hospital and dont they know the woman's behaviour is wicked? Have you asked yourself why they have not told the man yet?
You must maintain confidentiality at all times.
Sha na because say na Naija but even at that, you can still get into serious problem.
In developed countries, once a person maintains that their health information should not be shared with any one, even if you're the mama wey born am, the information can never be released. Anyone who does that would face the consequences ozugbo ozugbo.
Please keep us updated when you finally divulge her status.
ReplyDeleteEven as she's sick, wickedness is still in her heart like this? Please alert him ooo..this is crazy
ReplyDeleteIf there's a way you can print out The test Results without the hospital Logo then you send someone who does not work in the hospital premises to give him..
ReplyDeleteSha don't implicate yourself in whatever you wanna do..
Good luck ooo..
Hello iya Boys
HIV positive individuals are the most wicked sets of people you can ever meet, because they will hide their medications and their status, they will never inform their spouses or partners and also have the mind to say is someone that infected me. this confidentiality aspect in healthcare is really doing a lot of damage because the uninfected partner will never know and the healthcare provider will never disclose it to the partner.
ReplyDeleteMadam story teller,it's such a shame that a health worker can bring forth this kind of story here or probably you are a quack masquerading behind a long name " health care assistant". You can't go divulging your patient's status without how consent! Who does that please? It is the primary duty of every adult to know the status of the other before getting intimate! When the said AIDS no dey show for face,it's no joke.
ReplyDeleteMadam face your job and leave gossip
Face your job and leave your patients status
Amebo!!
I say some comments on HIPAA and the requirement for privacy, yes though there is nothing like HIPAA in Nigeria as it’s an acronym for an American regulation on protected health information. However there is also laws that ensure there is full disclosure by HIV patients to their potential partners. An HIV patient who fails to disclose can be prosecuted and can go to jail in the US. Citing American laws partially helps nobody in Nigeria. She cannot be prosecuted in Nigeria for failing to disclose so if you want to save lives of potential victims, do what your conscience says especially as she seems to have none. You will be saving a life like the brother of the blog owner’s life could have been saved if he knew. ✌🏾
ReplyDeleteTo curb the spread of hiv this disclosure thing should be removed. Those of you saying otherwise don't worry e go reach una because most of you don't use cd. E go reach una
