Abstract:
What are the proclaimed and actual objectives of the legal measures various governments have adopted to deal with the AIDS pandemic? What political and social issues are involved? Are public health regulations compatible with human rights? Does the fight against AIDS justify discrimination and repression? Will AIDS, given the social and legal reactions to it, undermine the progress of our civilization? 'May I see nothing but humanity in the person who suffers'--Maimonides.
