What would you do in this situation and why?


You are a parole officer with an offender who is HIV positive. The offender has begun an intimate relationship with someone what would you do and why?

Are you certain that the parolee hasn't already informed his/her partner about being HIV positive? What if the parolee is "hooking up" with more than one person...are you going to single handedly contact them as well?

I would encourage the ex-con to come clean. After all how would the parolee should understand how scary it can be to have the disease and should be able to sympathize. (Of course, I may have to much hope since it is an ex-con that we're talking about).
Also, in some states it is illegal to purposefully and knowingly affect someone with the disease. I don't doubt that this would be a direct violation of parole.

If you tell the partner about the parolee's HIV status, you could be breaking a confidentiality law. As a parole officer, you are able to obtain private information that can't be shared with others. It wouldn't be worth losing your job and professional reputation over it. Then again, you can always attempt to tell the partner anonymously.

It really sounds like you're trying to "do the right thing" by helping another person. Good Luck!

I'd stay far away in case body fluids started flying around.

Slip bromide in their coffee each week.

Isn't it an offence to infect someone on purpose? Your offender would be breaking the law, if he had not informed the girl. As a parole officer, surely you should be within your rights to make sure the girl is informed. This is a hard one - I'd give her his hospital card and let her ask the questions.
