    What do I do when my Hipaa rights have been violated
    I was put in jail in Allegen county in Michigan. A girl I went to high school with worked as a nurse there. I informed the jail that I was H.I.V. positive. Later I found out I wasn't . This girl that worked at the jail told several people that I was H.I.V. positive. What should I do?

    If you can prove that this girl repeated this information she could lose her nursing license.This is against the medical ethics of nursing.Contact your state attorney generals office,a free service that responds very quickly or the state medical board.
    Good luck.
