<human>: I work as an accessioner in a lab/office. An accessioner is the person who enters your lab tests into a computer system after a phlebotomist draws your blood but before it goes to the lab to be ran. I work in a large hub of just accessioners but there are some satellite offices that do the same thing, mostly staffed by newer part timers. 

My manager is quitting and a supervisor from another department is taking her place on Tuesday. We had a quick meet and greet today. She has a printout of an e-mail I sent the day before about a specimen that was sent to us incorrectly from one of our satellite offices. I corrected the error, with only a short period of time left before it was 'past stability' and had to be redrawn.  She thanked me for catching that error and the office asked what happened. I replied that it was a critical frozen HIV test that came in refrigerated whole blood, instead of only frozen blood plasma, a big problem. She went on to say that it was her brother's test and they have already recollected his blood twice and that would've been a third time. I just broke HIPAA, with my new boss' help, to my entire office informing them that her brother was HIV positive (the test is for 'How bad is it?', not 'Do you have it?' (Quantitative)

I waited till after the meeting and went and apologized. Luckily for me, they are open about it, something about sharing needles, and it was not a problem.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: I saved a blood specimen from having to be retaken and told my office it was for a 'How bad is your HIV?' lab test before my boss informed us it was her brother's. Turned out ok.
