Privacy Rights on HIV or Not

Ever since the HIV/AID outbreak, multiple concerns have floated in everybody’s mind. The question comes up in your head whether this person has a deadly, yet manageable disease. How does it spread and how can we stop it? Where did it come from and what are we doing to prevent more cases? There is no way to know if someone has it without asking or with ought them telling you. Should people be required to tell you their personal health problems? Many people feel it's important to maintain their privacy, yet on the other hand people believe it should be public information.
