问题 共用题干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.Breaches in confidentiality are common in medical circles all over the world.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned
选项 Breaches in confidentiality are common in medical circles all over the world.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned
答案 C
解析 由文章第一段第二句可知，有些病人如此担心以至于真的要放弃治疗以防止个人隐私 被披露，这里指的只是一些人，并非所有人，故本题应选B。
由文章第三段第一句“The fear of a breach in confidentiality is definitely affecting the cure...”可知，“担心泄密必定影响HIV感染者所接受的治疗”，说它“与疗效无关（have nothing to do with)”显然是错误的。
第六段提到法律允许同一单位的医生共同使用病人资料，其他单位的医生必须征得病 人同意才能使用这些资料，故本题应选A。
通篇文章只在第六段说必须征得病人同意，而根本没有提到宪法，故本题应选C。
本题说“大多数被研究的病人强烈反对泄露他们的HIV病情”，这与第七段第二句所 说的“他们还认为泄密的医生应该受到惩罚”是相一致的，故本题应选A。
由文章第八段内容可知，病人常常不愿意采取法律行动，因为这样会进一步暴露其病 情，故本题应选B。
文章第三段虽然指出大部分调查对象都有类似经历或者认识有过类似经历的人，但并没有提及这种事是否在世界范围内常常发生，故本题应选C。第3部分：概括大意与完成句子
