Counseling patients on their HIV test results is an important part of undergraduate and graduate medical education. However, many trainees and physicians feel ill prepared to counsel patients on potentially distressing results. We present a case involving early disclosure of a false-positive HIV screening test result to a patient and the downstream effects of this premature disclosure. This case highlights the importance of understanding the various HIV testing options available and the importance of education on effectively counseling patients on screening versus confirmatory HIV test results.
向患者提供 HIV 检测结果咨询是本科和研究生医学教育的重要组成部分。然而,许多受训者和医生觉得自己没有充分准备好为患者提供可能令人痛苦的结果咨询。我们呈现了一个涉及向患者过早披露假阳性 HIV 筛查检测结果的案例,以及这种过早披露的后续影响。这个案例强调了理解各种 HIV 检测选项的重要性,以及教育患者关于筛查与确认 HIV 检测结果的重要性。
