Problem: You are working as a licensed therapist in a local community counseling clinic. Your client reveals to you that he had tested positive for HIV a year ago and has not been able to bring himself to share that with his sexual partners. Upon asking your client how many partners he has had since being diagnosed and whether protection is being used, the client replies, "I've had at least six partners this past year and I've not always used protection." The client insists that he is too embarrassed to broach this subject with partners, and besides, there are effective therapies for HIV now. Please discuss the ethical implications for this circumstance and include an action plan for going forward. Secondly, assume you have the same exact case and circumstance, but rather than HIV, the client has been diagnosed with genital herpes and has not shared that with partners, nor does not always use protection. Does this change how you would move forward with an action plan?
