Confidentiality is a fundamental rule of medicine and has been specifically defined in many codes of medical ethics. A changing clinical environment both because of diseases such as AIDS, which were not anticipated when these clinical codes were created, and because of the changing relationship between the physician, the patient, and the payor for the physician's care creates dilemmas concerning the rule of confidentiality.
保密性是医学的一项基本准则，并且在许多医学伦理准则中都有明确规定。临床环境不断变化，一方面是由于诸如艾滋病等疾病的出现，这些疾病在制定这些临床准则时并未预料到，另一方面是由于医生、患者以及支付医生诊疗费用者之间的关系不断变化，这就产生了有关保密准则的两难困境。
