This work examines the media's role in generating an unnecessary fear of HIV positive health care workers. There is not one safely proven case of HIV being transmitted from a health care worker to patient anywhere in the world, yet much fear surrounds the HIV-infected care worker.
The book provides a reasoned clinical debate on individual managerial and state accountability in health care, looking at the practicality of continuing employment after diagnosis and exploring the dilemmas a worker may face.
