Question 7.20

7.20 Anonymous or confidential? The website for STDHELP.org contains the following information about one method offered for HIV testing: “The clinic will require you to provide some information that allows them to deliver your results. Typically a random numeric code is used for identification, and your name or social security number are never used in the process. There are no written results that are documented . . .” Does this practice offer anonymity or just confidentiality?
