A 43-year-old female client who is about to get married comes to the clinic with her boyfriend for a series of fertility tests. The client’s boyfriend used to be the nurse midwife’s patient from another facility, and the nurse midwife is certain that he tested positive for HIV. The client is unaware of her boyfriend’s diagnosis. The nurse midwife talks to the boyfriend in private, and, although he acknowledges that that he used to be her patient, he denies that he tested positive for HIV and refuses to talk to his girlfriend about his diagnosis. What should the nurse midwife’s next action be?
