I'm studying for ethics, and I had a quick question concerning how a physician addresses positive STIs results. If a patient is positive for chlam or gon and the patient wants to keep it quiet, what's the physicians first reaction? I've seen questions where the answer is to report to state and other questions where its to encourage. But, what if I had a question with both answer choices? What is more important? I feel like both are important. Honestly, I imagine you'd do both, but what addresses the question more if the patient doesn't want the doctor to tell the patient's spouse.
