I heard this the other day from experience and it alarmed me right to the core. As a nurse, drawing someones blood and dealing with body fluids, I didn’t know that I do now have the right to know if someone has a contageous disease. Including HIV, hepititis, anything I could catch with a needle stick. Does anyone know if this is true? Any info will be appriciated
Yes,in most cases it is true. As a nurse,you are supposed to be practicing Universal Precautions on every patient. You care for every patient as if they had an infectious disease. If however,you were to stick yourself in the process of caring for a patient,you have the right to have them tested for transmittable diseases and to know the results.
Well, officers deputies and guards in jails and prison aren’t allowed to know which inmates are HIV positive and such (so I hear, I may be wrong, but I have heard this from many sources). So you aren’t the only one in the bad spot.
of course its true, you can and will catch any kind of bisease by a neddle or any type of sharp infected object stuck into your body
