Pained_Girl: It's gpod to hear that your HIV test came back negative. My mother, who had a colonoscopy at the clinic in 2005, is having her tests done today, so, I totally can sympathize with your and others' anxieties while waiting for results.
I do, however, have to comment on a couple of things. HIV is no longer the death sentence it used to be. It is still a horrible, opportunistic disease, but the latest drugs have allowed thousands to live with the disease for many years. In fact, there are some that were infected in the early 80s, who are now in their 60s, and are still healthy.
As for former patients who may have moved away, it is likely that they have heard something about this crisis. This story is so horrific that it has made national news. You'd have to completely be detached from all media - Internet, newspapers, television - to not hear about this. I no longer live in Nevada, but I heard about this on MY local news, and it's being covered in national publications as well (like USA TODAY).
Good luck and many prayers to everyone affected by this clinic's malpractice!

Back in the early 80s, the owners of Studio 54 in New York City - Ian Schrager and Steve Rubell - were indicted for tax invasion from skimming cash from the nightclub. Could it be that 25 years later, this could happen again in the nightclub capital of the world, Las Vegas?
