In late 2014 Romanian newspapers present a case from the city of Segarcea where an HIV positive youth, recently deceased, engaged in sexual intercourse with several young females and presumably infected them with HIV. The aim of the article is to discuss this case from legal and ethical perspectives, in the context of stigma, confidentiality and its limits. Recent evidences in the field of HIV are presented to better understand the implications of risk behaviours. Following the provisions of the Deontological Code and research findings in biomedical domain implications for practice are discussed and some possible ways forward for the practice of social workers when facing similar ethical dilemmas.
Keywords: ethics, social work, confidentiality, stigma, HIV
