A man arrives at the local county health department for HIV testing. He shares that he has been unfaithful to his wife, who is unaware of his multiple sexual partners. He was notified by one of his partners that she tested positive for HIV and was told to notify her other sexual partners and contacts that they should be tested as well. For fear of his wife finding out, he decided to get tested at the county health department instead of going to his family physician. The test results return positive. The nurse counsels the patient on his diagnosis and prognosis, treatment options, and sharing his HIV status with his wife and other sexual partners. The man starts getting agitated and tells the nurse that he cannot tell his wife because it would destroy his family. What should the nurse tell the patient?
