should establish trust first.

consent for release to other individuals. Cameron has just turned 18 but still lives at
home, therefore she is transitioning into the mindset off an adult.

patient information is private this type of infection is required to be reported to the
Department of Health. As an adult she she has the right to privacy but this disease has
consequences.

the infection.
