HIV encounter fraud because of personal information leakage and even blackmail, recently attracted much attention, for HIV therefore lost their jobs or a family crisis. Access to information regardless of criminal suspects is insiders have intention to not intentional of leaks, or hacking information management system, have harm the HIV infection group. But better late than never, never too late to, strengthen the information security should be including the centers for disease control and prevention, hospital, etc, the relevant institutions focus on construction of a key.

Medical and health information for patients realized fast and convenient, but one of the side effects associated with, is the information leak. HIV 1 week before personal information leak time, hospital database for hacking, anhui 5767 newborns video appeared on a video website, these children born card related information such as name, date of birth, the diagnosis. In march of this year, shenzhen thousands of pregnant women information leaked, we haven't some maternal hospital, milk powder manufacturers have sell the home, and claims that the information on your computer to download from the hospital.

Is not hard to find, the medical information leakage hazard is most vulnerable groups, those with weak personal information for selfish interests, let a person be ashamed. Especially for HIV, information not only could let them lose money, they will also face the life of "earthquake". High-risk groups may therefore will not accept HIV testing, patients will not accept HIV/AIDS prevention and control of services, and endanger the country these years hard to establish AIDS prevention and control of the barrier. Information security holes is not blocked, will be affected every aspect of society.

With the development of Internet technology, many new technology and new services are used in medical field is a trend, but the equipment failure, system defect, virus, hacker attacks, factors such as human negligence, is likely to lead to medical information leakage risk. Huge amounts of medical information and sensitive, behind each set of data, lock the survival condition of a patient, and especially it is necessary to build a dam safety. But for now, the centers for disease control and prevention, hospital, etc as an important part of social public services, the protection of network security is far less financial institutions such as do it.

Everything is set. To strengthen the integration of safety protection, the terminal access management and control, regular vulnerability and vulnerability assessment to improve information security, is imminent. At the same time, to strengthen the safety awareness of all parties concerned. A us IT professionals in the health field survey found that 51% of people admitted he was not in research and development section of the patient's data protection, while 38% of people said to have active leakage data of behavior. In relatively perfect information technology level and the relevant laws and regulations of the United States, the professional information protection consciousness did so. Our country should be more early intervention, on the one hand, increase investment in information construction, from the system level "security"; On the other hand, push the awakening of awareness of information protection and breeding, from individuals, institutions, social to the national level, should have sympathy for the weak and the protection consciousness, and this kind of consciousness into every detail of work hard.
