Clinic Mistakenly Leaks Patients' HIV Status
A sexual health clinic has mistakenly leaked the HIV status of nearly 800 patients, it has emerged.
It is understood the clinic, at 56 Dean Street in Soho, London sent out the names and email addresses of approximately 780 patients when a newsletter was issued to clinic attendees.
A spokesperson for Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said: "We can confirm that due to an administrative error, a newsletter about services at 56 Dean Street was sent to an email group rather than individual recipients.
"We have immediately contacted all the email recipients to inform them of the error and apologise."
