Medical ethics - questions

1) Let's say you have a minor patient interest in sterilization ( surgery) ... do you need parental consent or it is not needed because it is contraception method ?

2) Another pt HIV+ don't what to inform the partners of the situation... do you inform the Dept. of Health in detail and that the pt previously mentioned of several partners???
( like other STDs they are reportable illness. How does this report is actually sent? online, fax, etc?? and with # of cases only) ??


3) Finally, your female HIV+ tells you that she'll inform her husband who's in the waiting room that she is positive... On her following appointment, weeks later, she mentions that she did not inform him yet and then he finds out he's HIV+. Does he have grounds to win a lawsuit for not telling him about his wife's viral infection during the prior appointment when he was present at the clinic?
