LEGAL & ETHICAL ISSUES IN HIV
Col Dr Madhav Madhusudan Singh, Dr Brig Ravinder Singh Saini
Abstract :
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes HIV infection and over time acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). “Stigma and discrimination is an affront to human rights and puts the lives of people living with HIV and key populations in danger. Currently the critical areas of concern include access to treatment and developing newer, more effective therapeutic and prevention methods while taking care of ethical values in health care and research. The ethical issues mainly revolve around the standard of care, informed consent across cultures, maintenance of privacy and confidentiality, stigma and discrimination, protection of vulnerable groups, community consultation, ethical review mechanisms, international collaboration, epidemiological studies, clinical trials and also socio–behavioral studies on HIV/AIDS that have medico legal implication. HIV Act 2017 has given a strength and framework for hospitals as well patients suffering from disease. Disclosure and discrimination in HIV cases now will be reviewed seriously.
