Ethical dilemma
You are practicing as a medical doctor.
Mr. Slow Puncture visited you complaining of stress
and burn out because of his work load.
You send him for blood test it turns out that he is
HIV positive.
He demand you not to tell his wife Beauty she is
also your patient.
You try your best to persuade him otherwise but he
does not want to change his viewpoint.

condoms as precaution and that they wants to start a
family within six months.
What will you do, and why?
