The law that is being violated is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which entails the protection of patients’ sensitive and personal information. It is a federal law that provides for national standards for safeguarding the health data of patients from coming out in public without their consent (Bhate et al, 2020). In this case, the names of four thousand HIV-positive patients were revealed to publications and the Internet, which was a complete breach of HIPAA law. Neither the patients nor the healthcare service organization (HSO) had any prior knowledge of such a happening. They had not given any permission to the revealer to expose the information to the public.
