From the supplier: A California Court of Appeal applied the wrong cases to its analysis of a physician's duty to warn in Reisner v. Regents of the University of California. The case involved a man who became HIV positive after sleeping with a woman who had received a contaminated blood transfusion years before. Her doctor found out that the blood was contaminated but did not tell either the woman or her parents, as she was a minor at the time. The analysis of the court required an identifiable third party being harmed, which was not the case. Instead, a professional negligence approach should have been used.
