HIV and AIDs related issues
Re: S
Claimant underwent HIV test and was informed that she was HIV positive. For 10 years she was monitored by doctors. On transfer to another doctor she was advised to undergo a further HIV test. Claimant was re-tested and found to be HIV negative. Claimant suffered trauma and distress for 10 years living with the belief that she was HIV positive. Additionally she failed to reach her true potential in her career due to psychiatric problems, as a result of believing that she was HIV positive. Case settled for £100,000.
