The Legal Action Center and the AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania say some patients’ relatives and neighbors learned of their HIV status as a result. Aetna says that “this type of mistake is unacceptable” and that the company is reviewing processes to ensure it never happens again. The Hartford, Connecticut-based Aetna started notifying customers of the breach in letters sent this week. The legal organizations sent a cease-and-desist letter to Aetna. They want the insurer to show what corrective measures are being taken. Patients were in Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.
