You need to be more specific about the circumstances. In general, though, the answer is yes because of the First Amendment. Health care providers, not journalists, are required to follow medical privacy laws.
Even if a journalist intends to publish the identity of an HIV-positive or AIDS patient without the permission of the patient and the patient intends to sue for defamation of character, a judge would be hard-pressed to engage in prior restraint, which would run up against the journalist's right to free speech.
Regarding the claim that the Supreme Court has ruled that the identity of an HIV-positive or AIDS patient cannot be disclosed: False. It's telling there is no source cited for that claim.

NO. Its because of supreme court ruling which states that identity of HIV infected patients can not be disclosed.

No... Never.. I am connected with social work, no body is agree to accept HIV Patient. They have sympathy, but all is superficial. The patient particularly sensual lady should inform her friends for that she have gynac problem, so unable to sex. In such cases patients responsibility is also importent.

sure i might, yet in basic terms a caution... it relatively is against Yahoo regulations to solicit stars, factors, contacts, all of that. i in my opinion do no longer care, yet I had a question deleted & you lose 10 factors. in case you allure it you will no longer win, so merely be careful. I already do help combat against HIV/AIDS!

only if it is associated with a crime, they can not disclose a list of patients names and pictures just for the hell of it! Is a violation of privacy (medical and personal)

To my knowledge --
Not without the consent of the persons whose identities are being disclosed.
Should check with an Attorney, might have a suite pending.

Not without the patient waiving their privacy rights. if you know someone who's been photographed and their medical condition has been published without their consent, advide them to see an attorney immediately!
