In response, Mr. Chairman, to Mr. Koe's question, there are probably two or three different reasons for not proceeding with the usual disclosure of the names of infected people. The first one relates to legislation, which prohibits the identification of people with venereal diseases and sexually transmitted diseases. Secondly, is with regard to professional ethics, that professional nurses, doctors and physicians are, in theory, ethically bound not to discuss their patients' conditions or give their patients' identification to anyone else. A third reason is, with regard to AIDS and HIV, it has been difficult to get a handle on the real number of infected people. One of the concerns has been, and it has been demonstrated in many other places, that people are afraid to be identified. They do not, therefore, often come forward quickly for fear they will be identified. If one proceeds to identification, or even if people perceive there is a possibility of identification, it tends to make, in experience elsewhere, people not prepared to come for testing. That means we end up with a situation where we know less than we know now.
A further reason is that up until the present, certainly in terms of the people who we know about having this infection, their behaviour has been, by and large with one or two exceptions, superb. They have certainly put no one else at risk. So, to identify them would be very damaging, or could be very damaging, without any protection being provided. Thank you.
