What should the doctor in these circumstances. Give reasons for your answer.
2. Three doctors are playing golf. One of them tells the other two, that a patient they both treated a year ago is now HIV positive, as a result of having multiple sex partners.
Do you think that the doctor acted ethically and legally in these circumstances? Why or why not?
