We have recently had a Mom (and she is not the first, unfortunately) who was
HIV + have a baby who was admitted to the NICU.  Mom's condition is UNKNOWN
to Dad!  Everyone was so sick about it.  Here this Dad is totally blind and
not one of us can say a word.  Mom hides her medications at home and plans on
doing the same with baby.  This couple looks like a normal couple.  Not
someone who walked off of the street.  Where is this man's rights??  Mom is
protected by patient confidentiality.  But what about Dad?  How awful is all
of this for him!?!  The nurses would practically break down in tears every
time he walked into the NICU to visit his baby.

Having trouble believing people can be so deceiving.
