Abstract

Few diseases or conditions have produced as great a potential for health, moral, ethical, and legal dilemmas as the infection cased by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and its progression to endstage acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The medical, psychological, and social complexities of HIV infection have inspired more legislation, government action, and procedural guidelines than any other known disease. However, law is mutable, and AIDS law in particular is unsettled. Perhaps this is appropriate to keep pace with the state of knowledge as it develops. Even so, the law is by nature ambiguous and often arbitrary; and as a result, the public, and even the judicial system, may have difficulty understanding the scope of HIV/AIDS laws ( Woods & Marks, 1990 )
