Sažetak
What is the relation of Zagreb University students to the private law and the information dissemination obligation on persons that are carriers of HIV–antibodies. The results of the opinion poll have been analyzed in the context of epidemiological data on the virus that causes AIDS and about legal provisions that regulate the behavior of the diseased, employers, health insurance and physicians. The highest degree of choice of negative answers to the question — To whom would an information on the fact that somebody has been infected with the HIV–virus be accessible, even without explicit consent of that person? — is phrased in relation to the opinion that the police has an access to information (84.8%); following then with the negative opinion toward the employer (77.5%); and insurers (75.0%). Positive answers prevail toward the right of a husband/wife (96.6%); male partner/female partner (95.6%); close family members (82.8) to possess those confidential information. The information dissemination obligation has been checked up with the question that runs like this: Who should — according to your opinion — be informed by the very person that is an HIV–carrier on his or her health condition? 73.2% of respondents hold that the employer should not possess information on a possible disease of his or her employee,and a closer opinion has been expressed also toward the information dissemination obligation in relation to an insurer (72.8%). Even 98.8% of examinees regard as obligatory to confide this to a husband/wife and male partner/female partner, close family members (92.2%)and friends (76.6%), the information on being HIV infected.
