Sexual health clinic: 'Not everyone on list HIV positive'

A sexual health clinic has mistakenly leaked a list of nearly 800 patients who have attended HIV clinics, bosses admitted.

The 56 Dean Street clinic in London's Soho sent out the names and email addresses of 780 patients when a newsletter was issued to people who attend the clinic.

Dr Alan McOwan, consultant and lead clinician at the 56 Dean Street Clinic, apologised for the "devastating" error and told the BBC News Channel that not everyone on the list was HIV positive.
