This is not true.
Public Health has a duty to protect individual privacy, but they also have the duty to protect the health of the public (hence their name). So they will balance the relative importance of the 2, and how they do it is their judgement call.
If its something minor, they probably won't notify your family, but if its something serious, then they will.
Also, they may do it in a way that is supposedly "anonymous" to protect your identity, but in reality, your wife or family will know its you.
I mean, unless your wife fucks a lot of men behind your back, she will know its you when Public Health contacts her and tells her, "someone you may have sexual relation with has been tested positive for STI and you are advised to come get tested ASAP".
Trust me, I know this is what they do.
In addtion. If your spouse or family calls them up and tries to ask for your information, they will not release it due to privacy issue. However, if your spouse suspects you, she can pressure you to give your consent to have Public Health release your info to her.
Also, if you try to buy life insurance, they will also ask you to sign your consent to them getting your health information too, otherwise they might not sell to you. Then they may either check your record immediately, or some companies are more devious, and deliberately not check yet so they can start collecting your premiums, then if you ever need to make a claim, they will then check it, and if you lied about anything regarding your medical history (for example on your application you said you never gotten STI but you actually have) they will deny payout on your claim .
So don't place too much faith or hope in privacy protections in this day and age. Nothing is really private, and there are so many ways (both legal and illegal) to get your supposed private info. |
