- Look here. If your doctor were HIV positive, what would you do? Would you make him confess that he has a disease or just let it go?

- Oh, it is a very difficult question. Of course it would be better to make him confess because everyone values their health and doesn't want to catch a disease, especially a terminal one. But if he complies with the rules of hygiene and the risk of infection is low enough, there won't be reasons for concern.

- I cannot agree with you. If he really wants to serve people, he may try to do it some other way. Surely, it's difficult to find a job when he is HIV positive because of discrimination on the part of employers, but it doesn't mean he should expose his patients to danger, even if the possibility of contamination is near to zero.

- But he has no other choice because he could face the living without salary or money from his health insurance. Even working as doctor he has to avoid seeking treatment for his disease because of fear of public reaction. If his patients have a choice between seeing an inflected doctor and seeing a healthy doctor, they of course will choose the latter.

- Well, then he could try some other job which wouldn't be connected with working with people. Look, the fact that he hides this information can affect not only his patients, but him as well. Have you heard about the recent proposal to enforce criminal penalties on health care workers if they would not tell their patients about their disease?
