Complaint Investigation Report

In addition, outside medical professional (I1) indicated that C1 could have contracted HPV “when C1 was 10 years old,” or have had it “forever,” but tested negative for HPV due to the possibility that patients can receive a negative result but be a carrier of HPV. I1 stated that the outcome of a negative versus positive test result for HPV can be a result of the patients’ immune system at the time the test sample is taken. I1 further stated that it is possible that the next time C1 is tested the result is likely to be negative.

Due to a lack of corroborating evidence to determine how C1 contracted HPV, the allegation is found to be unsubstantiated. Allegation, neglect/lack of care & supervision resulting in client contracting a sexually transmitted disease is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred.
