First Published in 2004. Confidentiality in the era of AIDS is a 'buzz-word' in medical practice. But in the court room there is no confidentiality. A doctor can be forced to disclose her patient's confidences. This book asks: Why is this the case? Why are other professional confidential relationships protected in the court room? What is the nature of confidentiality in modern medical practice? Do doctors really keep patient information confidential? Is there a need for statutory reform?
