In a nursing home should you as a nursing asst be told you are working with a person with HIV?

I believe that since a nursing assistant is a direct care provider, they should be told if a patient has a communicable disease. However, the patient/resident should not be treated any differently than any other patient when giving care. If a facility does not inform ancillary staff, it could be because of a concern that the quality of care the patient receives may be influenced by their 'condition'. They may also consider it a HIPPA violation.
If the facility does not tell you the specific diagnosis for the patients, you can always ask what kind of isolation precautions, if any, should you use. Staff will be willing to give out that information, as it doesn't violate any HIPPA laws. Standard isolation precautions should be used with every patient.
