Does anyone have an answer for me. Case #1, client with cancer, in homosexual relationship, no disclosure of HIV/AIDS. We just told the caregiver to always use Universal Precautions and left it at that.
Case #2 Same situation (cancer, relationship) BUT disclosed that he has HIV. Can we tell the caregiver, since he disclosed, or do we need to just do as we did before and advise caregiver to use Universal Precautions (as they should be doing anyway). Our caregivers bath, dress and groom clients but do not provide medical care.
