If a patient has not personally notified their partners of their risk for HIV infection, the investigator may then contact all divulged sexual partners for the need to pursue testing and potential treatment for HIV. Anyone who has sexual relations with or engages in other risk behaviors with Scott is at risk for contracting HIV and syphilis, and protecting the health and welfare of those contact persons takes precedent over maintaining Scott's confidentiality. Once Scott's diagnosis is reported, he will meet with a health investigator who will record the names of his contacts and notify them of their exposure to syphilis and HIV. Scott should be informed that his diagnosis will be reported to the public health department and that he will be asked to meet with an investigator and give the names of his sexual contacts.	./cache/cord-018440-qugmnolo.txt	./txt/cord-018440-qugmnolo.txt
