Legal and Ethical Issues Raised by HIV/AIDS
As part of the Joint Canadian AIDS Society / Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network Project, a 200-page Literature Review and Annotated Bibliography has been prepared.
The Literature Review focuses on the eight issues that were identified as priority legal and ethical issues by the over 60 individuals and organizations consulted throughout the project:[1]
• Criminalization of HIV Transmission
• Discrimination
• Drug Laws and HIV/AIDS
• Gay and Lesbian Legal Issues
• Legal Issues Raised by HIV/AIDS in Prisons
• Laws and Policies Regulating Prostitution and HIV/AIDS
• Testing and Confidentiality
It also includes a chapter on "HIV/AIDS, Law, and Ethics," which reviews the role of the law and ethics in responding to HIV/AIDS, and a chapter on "Women and HIV/AIDS."
The Bibliography contains not only short annotations on hundreds of books, articles, and reports, but also short summaries of most of the Canadian case law on HIV/AIDS to date.
