Answer:

The doctor should encourage the patient to tell the situation to his wife, as it also affects her health.

Explanation:

The correct would be that the doctor does not inform the patient's wife because patient health information must be confidential. However, the patient's HIV infection compromises his wife's health and it is a medical duty to communicate the patient's wife about the risks she is taking. In such a case, the doctor should tell the patient this and encourage him or her to tell him that he is HIV-positive to his wife on behalf of her health, or the medical team should contact her.

I would tell him that his health problems are completely confidential and that I would not tell his wife. If the wife asked me, I would say to talk to your husband he will explain everything.
