Angry at Harry

Scenario I have to write an ethics essay about:

Harry is tested for HIV after having been on a holiday and is found to be positive. In talking to his doctor about the result, Harry agrees that there is a risk to Jon, his partner, but refuses to allow him to be told. He claims that Jon will become very jealous and upset and might walk out on him. He also resists the idea that he should start using condoms because he believes this will make John suspected there is something wrong.

Can I just say what a fucking douchebag this Harry person is?

First of all, he goes on a holiday without his partner, Jon. Poor Jon was probably slaving away at work for that time, wondering why his supposedly loving partner dogged him to go HAVE SEX WITH OTHER PEOPLE ON HIS HOLIDAY.

Harry, get it together, man.

Okay, fine. Maybe Jon didn't have enough money to go on a holiday and Harry is a stingy bastard. Maybe Jon couldn't get leave from work. Maybe Jon gets travel sickness or has an irrational fear of holidays. Who knows? But I don't think this justifies HAVING SEX WITH OTHER PEOPLE ON YOUR HOLIDAY.

POOR FUCKING JON.

As if this isn't enough, Harry comes back, finds out he has HIV then WON'T USE A CONDOM.

PROTIP: USE A CONDOM IF YOU HAVE HIV.

So Harry is scared Jon will walk out on him if he finds out? Wouldn't it be worse if you DIDN'T tell him THEN he got HIV? DON'T YOU THINK HE MIGHT WALK OUT ON YOU THEN?

I have many feelings about this scenario.
