Assignment:

Alex is a white male in his late 20s who identifies as gay. He comes from Orange, which is a regional area of New South Wales. He moved to Canberra five years ago after his relationship with his parents broke down; they are having difficulty accepting his sexuality and life choices. Alex is very close to his sister (Lisa), he moved in to live with her five years ago. He disclosed to Lisa that he has faced challenges as a gay person in Orange and the hope that he will fit in better here in the city.

Alex also has autism, affecting his communication skills and making him sensitive to sound and light. This makes it hard for him to enjoy the local night life and make and maintain friendships. Since coming to Canberra, he has found a steady job in retail and is building some friendship networks. He has a new boyfriend; they are having safe sex, and both have had recent STI testing.

A couple of days ago, Alex felt burning sensation during urination. This was followed by frequent urination and strong and persistent urge to urinate (urgency). Alex made an appointment with the GP and blood test and urine sample (culture) were requested. While Alex was waiting for the results, he began to feel feverish, and his sister brought him to hospital this morning. He has been diagnosed with a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI).

While Alex was laying down in his bed, he heard the nurse said to another nurse "I am going to take the vital signs for the gay guy, who admitted this morning in room 5...". This situation upset Alex and made him feel uncomfortable and judged in the hospital environment. Lisa heard of the situation and escalated the issue to the hospital management.
