The patient was revealed in the hospital of the Novosibirsk Science Crime

The man with HIV was discharged from the hospital in Koltsovo, the Novosibirsk region, without hearing, and the doctor revealed his positive status “for the entire corridor”. The patient’s wife, who worked in the same hospital, was forced to quit and was afraid that the family had to move, because the entire science city is gossiping about the diagnosis of the spouse.

A resident of Koltsovo with complaints on a neurological profile turned to the Novosibirsk District Hospital No. 1 for help, where his wife worked, but did not receive adequate treatment, he said Taiga.info. In addition, one of the doctors did not observe a medical secret and loudly announced its positive HIV status in the presence of other patients.

“I lay in the corridor for three days opposite the office, where they put injections because there were no places in the wards. In the end, the manager came to me and the entire corridor, where people stood, began to swear: “Why didn’t you tell me that you have hepatitis and HIV?” I was taken aback - no one hid it from her, ”the man told Taiga.info, who asked not to give his last name.

His wife, who worked in the hospital with a nurse, added that her husband was brought there on an ambulance with severe pain, to which the neurologist reproached her for hospitalization there was no agreement.

“I have a question, why negotiate about this if a person is bad? Nobody approached him for three hours, only a dropper was put an anesthetic. Then the doctor told me that there would be nothing to do with him until he saw the results on HIV, I showed her everything. And she then came to him and began to talk about it to the whole department ... I was shocked, of course, went to the deputy chief physician, said that no one canceled the hippocratic oath and ethics to yell at the whole department about the diagnosis. What right did she have to do this? "

According to the interlocutor Taiga.info, her husband was discharged a few days later, sending to an infectious diseases hospital, on the basis of which the AIDS center is located.

“They looked at him in the infectious diseases, said that this was not their profile, that he can be treated in a regular hospital at the place of residence. But they agreed and eventually took the ambulance to the city hospital, where we finally helped us. Well, I would not want him to be treated again in Koltsovo, ”explained the wife of the HIV-positive resident of Koltsovo.

She believes that the information about the diagnosis of her husband was “already smashed throughout the science -hack”: “Half of Koltsovo is sick, half Baryshevo, but they did not do with anyone as with us. Life stood upside down. I quit from the hospital, morally could not stay there. And now the gossip crawled, at least move. ”

Discrimination of people living with HIV remains one of the important factors in the spread of the epidemic in Russia. In the recently presented report of the Center for Youth Studies (CMI), the most common of the types of discrimination are identified: self -amization, marginalization of the immediate environment and marginalization and discrimination of health workers.

In the case of self-stigmatization, HIV-positive status is perceived as something a shameful and shameful-not a chronic disease, but a stigma that instantly deprives a person of moral legitimacy. People who have such a status try not to talk about illness both globally and in relation to themselves, realizing that they may encounter negative consequences. When contacting medical institutions, people with HIV can also be perceived as dangerous and at the same time requiring additional efforts during maintenance, the study says. Everyday rejection, disclosure of medical information, restriction of access to medical care-HIV-positive in clinics face such problems.
