Wait a second, so I have AIDS? No, you have HIV and you're healthy because you've been taking medication. Oh, no, no, no. See, I just take a bunch of vitamins. That's it. No, you've been taking medication to combat the virus. No, no, they're just vitamins, man. No, your grandmother told me and I confirmed it with your doctor. Carter treated a boy with a hand injury. Before he could suture the wound, a nurse interrupted him, saying there was an urgent matter outside. An elderly woman was waiting. She was the boy's grandmother. She asked to speak with Carter privately. The woman told him the boy had been HIV positive since birth. To allow him to live a normal life, she had hidden the diagnosis from him and told him that his medication was just vitamins. Carter believed the boy had the right to know the truth. The grandmother insisted he was still too young. Carter worried the boy might already be sexually active. The grandmother assured him that was not the case. Carter maintained that the boy had a right to be informed, but the grandmother refused, and even tried to take him away. Security stopped her from leaving. After treating the boy's hand, Carter called him back and decided to tell him the truth. When the boy learned about his condition, he immediately realized the reason behind his mother's death and understood what he was facing, though he struggled to accept it. Carter confirmed the diagnosis with both the grandmother and the boy's doctor. The boy became angry about being kept in the dark. When Carter asked if he had a girlfriend, the boy quickly left the hospital without answering. Not long after, the boy returned with a girl who needed to be tested for infection. Unfortunately, the girl tested positive. She became anxious and regretted her contact with him, then ran out. Later, when Carter saw the boy again, the boy had been involved in a car accident. Get out of here. Come on. It's your fault.
