Privacy Worry May Keep HIV Patients from Therapy

Patients infected with HIV are often concerned about the confidentiality of their HIV-positive status. In fact, some patients are so worried that they will actually give up treatment to prevent the release of this information, according to a report published in the August issue of AIDS Care.

Dr. Kathryn Whetten-Goldstein and colleagues from Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, studied the confidentiality issues of 15 HIV-infected patients from rural North Carolina locations. They were divided into groups designed to explore their attitudes toward, and experiences with, breaches in confidentiality.

"The fear of a breach in confidentiality is definitely affecting the care that HIV-infected patients receive," Whetten-Goldstein said. "Most studied patients had experienced or knew someone who had experienced a breach in confidentiality."

"Two types of breaches occurred," Whetten-Goldstein noted. "The first was a more obvious type of breach. One example was a nurse who told her child that her patient was HIV-positive out of concern that her child would play with the patient's child."

"The other type of breach was more subtle, one that providers might not consider breaches," Whetten-Goldstein explained. "This type of breach involves providers talking about a patient's HIV status without the patient's knowledge of the interaction."

"The law allows the sharing of information between providers within the same institution, but patient's consent must be obtained before providers at different institutions can share information," she pointed out.

"Patients in the study wanted providers to tell them when they are going to share information with other providers and why it is being done," Whetten-Goldstein said. "They also felt that providers should be punished when a breach occurs."

"However, because patients are often reluctant to seek legal action which may further expose their status, they felt that the system should regulate itself," she added.

All patients in the study refuse to receive any treatment because of the possibility to expose their HIV status.

While much of our contemporary disquiet about priv

acy tends to spring from the malevolent capacity of technology, the yearning for a private realm long precedes the Brave New World of bits and bytes, of electronic surveillance, and CCTV. Indeed, anthropologists have demonstrated that there is a near-universal desire for individual and group privacy in primitive societies, and that this is reflected in appropriate social norms. Moreover, we are not alone in seeking refuge from the crowd. Animals too need privacy.At the most general level, the idea of privacy embraces the desire to be left alone, free to be ourselves—uninhibited and unconstrained by the prying of others. This extends beyond snooping and unsolicited publicity to intrusions upon the “space” we need to make intimate, personal decisions without the intrusion of the state. Thus “privacy” is frequently employed to describe a zone demarcated as “private” in which, for example, a woman exercises a choice as to whether she wishes to have an abortion, or an individual is free to express his or her sexuality. Debates about privacy are therefore often entangled with contentious moral questions, including the use of contraception and the right to pornography.In any event, it is clear that at the core of our concern to protect privacy lies a conception of the individual’s relationship with society. Once we acknowledge a separation between the public and the private domain, we assume a community in which not only does such a division make sense, but also an institutional structure that makes possible an account of this sort. In other words, to postulate the “private” presupposes the “public”.A life without privacy is inconceivable. But what purposes does privacy actually serve？ In addition to its significance in liberal democratic theory, privacy stakes out a sphere for creativity, psychological wellbeing, our ability to love, forge social relationships, promote trust, intimacy, and friendship.In his classic work, Alan Westin identifies four functions of privacy that combine the concept’s individual and social dimensions. First, it engenders personal autonomy; the democratic principle of individuality is associated with the need for such autonomy—the desire to avoid manipulation or domination by others. Second, it provides the opportunity for emotional release. Privacy allows us to remove our social mask: On any given day a man may move through the roles of stern father, loving husband, car-pool comedian, skilled lathe operator, union steward, water-cooler flirt, and American Legion committee chairman—all psychologically different roles that he adopts as he moves from scene to scene on the individual stage. Privacy gives individuals, from factory workers to Presidents, a chance to lay their masks aside for rest. To be always “on” would destroy the human organism.Third, it allows us to engage in self-uation—the ability to formulate and test creative and moral activities and ideas. And, fourth, privacy offers us the environment in which we can share confidences and intimacies, and engage in limited and protected communication.

根据以下内容回答题：

Expectations for personal relationships differ greatly across cultures．It is important to know that most AmericanS value close friendships，they also value privacy and independence．From an American perspective，to have privacy or to give someone privacy is considered posi-tive．Yet。when the word“privacy”is translated into other languages（e．g．Russian，Arabic，and Japanese）．it has more of a negative meaning．（In these languages“privacy”means aloneness or loneliness．）Therefore，the American’s need for privacy is sometimes judged negatively by those who have not been raised with the value of individualism．some Americans are isolated from others because they have taken their independence and privacy to an extreme．Others simply like spending time alone or at least having the freedom to avoid socializing if they choose． In any true friendship，whatever the culture may be， a person is expected to show interest and concen in a friend’S serious problems．But how does one show this across cuhures？It is not possible to generalize about Americans because there are SO manv varieties of Americans．but it is possible to say that many foreigners or newcomers from different cultures have felt disappointed by Americans．A common occurrence is when an American does not Dhone or visit as much．as the foreigner expects．If someone from another culture is having a serious problem，Americans may say，“Let me know if there’s anything l．can do to help．”If the Americans do not receive．a specific request，they may feel that there’s nothing they can do．In this case．They may call every now and then to stay in touch．The friend from a different culture，on the other hand，may be expecting“sympathy calls or frequent visits，and may not hesitate to demon．strate a dependence on a friend．Many Americans arc uncomfortable whrn people become too dependent．

What do Americans lay emphasis on concerning expectations for personal relationships？
