In the case exposed in the question, the professional should act calmly and contact the occupational health nurse so that this nurse contacts the patient to discuss the HIV status with the patient. The educational health professional is responsible for this. The attending nurse should not perform an HIV test without the patient's authorization, should not personally ask the patient to take an HIV test, nor can they inform the patient about the need for this test because these practices are considered unethical within of the profession.
