CONFIDENTIALITY OF CLIENT INFORMATION
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
□ I understand and agree to abide by these confidentiality provisions.

The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding is to emphasize that all information held in health records is confidential, with access governed by state and federal laws.Information, which is confidential, includes a client's name; address; medical, social and financial data; and services received. In addition, the fact that someone has had an HIV test is confidential, whether the result of that test is positive or negative. Data collection by interview, observation or review of documents should be conducted in a setting that protects the client's identity from unauthorized individuals. Client information should not be discussed outside the agency, except in the performance of referrals to other agencies for client care.
Section 384.29, Florida Statutes, addresses the need for special discretion in the handling of sexually transmissible disease information. Sexually transmissible diseases, by their nature, involve sensitive issues of privacy and confidentiality to the client.
Section 381.004 (3), Florida Statutes, deals with confidentiality of HIV test results. There are penalties for violating this statute. These penalties range from disciplinary action by the agency to a criminal misdemeanor.
