Today while we were having a revision lecture to sharpen up before our test, the tutor started talking about ethical cases and should we label patients as hi5 plus. Now, everyone in the room opened his mouth and had a question mark above his head.

WTF is hi5 plus ? ..

She was talking about HIV +’ve patients .. Human immunodeficiency virus positive patients! Where the V stands for 5 in Latin.

hiv +ve

I know its kinda cool to use abbreviation showing how experienced you are and how deep your understanding of the information that you start having your own acronyms to each disease, but this is the cheesiest one I’ve known about yet.
