VERY GOOD QUESTION DHIMAN.
TO START WITH YOU HAVE TO KNOW FIRST THAT THERE IS NO UNIFORM REGULATONS & LAWS REGARDING THE A.I.D.S. PAIENTS .THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF LAWS REGARDING INFORMING PATIENTS & THEIR RELATIVES ABOUT HIV/AIDS.
1.IN SOME STATES ,THETRE IS VERY CLEAR CUT RULE THAT THE CONTACS OF PATIENTS TO BE INFORMED DIRECTLY.
2.IN FEW STATES ,THRE IS STRICT RULE THAT ONLY PATIENTS TO BE INORMED ONLY ABOUT THE DISEASE[NO OTHER ELSE] & HE IS TO BE MOTIVATED THAT HIS/HER CONTACTS SOULD BE INFORMED.IF THE PATIENT DENIES ,THEN THERE IS NO WAY EXCEPT MOTIVATING PATIENTS AGAIN AND AGAIN.
3.INSOME STATES THERE IS A SYSTEM TERMED AS''DISEASE INFORMATION SYSTEM''[DIS]TO WHICH THE INFORMATION IS TO BE GIVEN AND THEY WILL PERSUE THE PATIENT ABOUT EVERYTHING & THEN THEY WILL HAVE THE DUTY & RIGHT TO INFORM THE CONTACTS OF THE PATIENTS & TAKE NECESSARY STEPS.
NOW YOU HAVE TO TAKE OUT THE CORRECT ANSWER FROM THE EXCREPIENTS MENTONED ABOVE.
