Abstract
The author explores the conflict between the right to confidentiality and right to privacy on one hand and the duty to warn on the other, which presents doctors dealing with AIDS patients with a confusing dilemma which neither law nor medicine seems to solve. The author argues that in the interest of better medical services courts should be reluctant to impose any duty on a doctor to warn a third party. (Editor’s abstract.)
