Wouldn't outing someone technicaly be violating HIPPA?

HIPAA does not apply to an individual who discloses information they have learned about another's medical condition.  Only Health Plans, Providers and Health-Information Clearinghouses are bound by the disclosure provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act...even employers are not strictly bound by it.
