BANGKOK: A 23-year-old woman whose a blood test showed that she is free from HIV disease is taking legal action against a hospital that diagnosed her with the disease 15 years ago. Suthida Sangsumart said she had to take antiHIV medicine since she was wrongly diagnosed and was stigmatised by the public. She was speaking after having a blood test at the Thai Red Cross Society’s Anonymous Clinic on Thursday. A doctor at Suvarnabhumi Hospital in Roi Et province tested her blood at the time and diagnosed her with HIV. Now that she is proved to be free of the disease, she wanted the hospital to take responsible for the mistake.
