From page 177... ...
Granger Morgan's presentation on risk communication stressed how informed consent converts an involuntary risk into a voluntarily acceptable risk, provided the consent is competently obtained. In Nelson's study of patients undergoing open heart surgery, the patients gave infonned consent not only to the surgery but also to receiving multiple blood transfusions.

The concept of informed consent goes beyond the specific consent obtained for a specific procedure to the acceptance of patients' right to know and to be active decision makers about their own health or illness. The loss of trust referred to by Chess could have been avoided or mitigated had those at greatest risk been active participants in the decision-making process during the early days of the HIV problem.
