A sexual health clinic mistakenly leaked the HIV status of nearly 800 patients, 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.

Patients were supposed to be blind-copied into the email but instead details were sent as a group email.

Importantly, the article says further down that that the list didn't leak individual's HIV status as it contained names of people who attended the clinic, not just those who are HIV positive.
