Someone who is HIV+ is the only person (adult) to disclose their status to anyone. Medical providers do have to right to talk to each other regarding a persons status, but by law they must keep that information between their offices. But if you tell someone your status and they are not legally bound to keep quiet, they can tell the whole world, so if someone is HIV+ they must decide who to tell. Work place discrimination because of HIV status is against the law, but I'm sure there are way that employer's can find a loop hole. Everyone is entitled to quality medical care, each state has ADAP a government assisted program to help HIV+ persons. As for children in school, the nurse is tied to the same laws as other medical providers, but other staff are not, so again be careful who is told.
