Over 2,000 hospital patients at risk of STIs after doctor makes huge mistake - LGBTQ Nation
Briefly

We recently learned that Providence's comprehensive infection control practices may not have been followed by a physician during some procedures at Portland-area hospitals, including Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center, Providence Portland Medical Center and other non-Providence hospitals.
The physician was employed by Oregon Anesthesiology Group (OAG), which no longer provides services for Providence. The physician is no longer employed by OAG. The actions of this physician might have put patients at a low risk of exposure to possible infections, including hepatitis B and C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Providence is currently working on notifying patients who have been affected through mailed letters and notifications in the MyChart app, an online system for providing health updates to patients.
The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) said in a written statement, 'Neither OHA nor the hospitals are aware of any reports of illness associated with this infection control breach.'
