Day 7 | WORLD AIDS DAY | MEDICAL PRIVACY

Privacy is critical when it comes to information about our health. It relates to one of the most personal aspects of our bodies and can greatly affect our sense of dignity and personhood. It’s important that we can trust our medical practitioner to keep our health information and medical records confidential, so that we can feel safe to communicate as openly as possible and make informed decisions about our health.
