You know they used to teach bedside manner along with medicine. Those days are long gone.

I just felt like trash when I lift the office. he wouldn't even touch me and what I went in for has got worse. I don't even want to go through this again with anyone.

I had the experience with an internist here on Cape Cod. He was specific about it, indicating he had OTHER health issues that left HIS immune system compromised as well. He was reluctant to deal personally with that risk of his own health. I fully understood. His being authentic with me about the "real reason" even though it may have been medically unnecessary, given my undetectable status even then, he left me to understand that it was HIS "stuff" and NOT mine. That's ok with me. I found another physician. All is well. I have no resentments toward him.

No,As a Registered Nurse I would never allow it-and this sort of behavior is unethical-and HIVpoz People can report it to your state Medical Board. I always opted for one stop Shopping (my HIV Specialist was also my GP) through the Clinics I picked.
