Borga is a huge lawsuit waiting to happen, a religious fanatic who fails to understand the various ways HIV is transmitted and who feels entitled to take her god's place as judge over her patients.
The poor patient will likely sue both her and the facility if the worst happens, although missing five doses might not be enough to trigger resistance.
These pious assholes need to open store front churches. They should never be allowed anywhere near the ill and vulnerable.
