 AB    The Appellate Division recently overturned a Supreme Court judgement
       concerning the disclosure of a patient's HIV status by his general
       practitioner to another general practitioner and a dentist. This article
       examines the content of both judgements with particular reference to its
       implication for the medical profession, and considers the arguments that
       may be raised for and against disclosure of a patient's HIV
       seropositivity.
