A medical assistant must always obtain written authorization from the patient before releasing their HIV status to other healthcare professionals outside of the patient's care team.
False
True
The correct answer is true because patient confidentiality is paramount, especially with sensitive information such as HIV status. Under HIPAA regulations, written authorization is required from the patient before such information can be disclosed, except in circumstances where the disclosure is to medical personnel involved in the patient's care or as otherwise permitted by law. This protects the patient's privacy and ensures that information is only shared when necessary for healthcare or legal requirements.
