AIDS: Duties To Treat Infected Persons

Abstract: 9 pages in length. The duties to treat people infected with AIDS is counterbalanced by the duties inherent to the rest of society free of the disease. The extent to which AIDS, its stigma and the complexities inherent to treatment is both grand and far-reaching; to merely state an individual is within his or her rights to receive treatment speaks to a very small portion of the much bigger argument that involves ethics, economics, rights, attitudes and appropriate choices. In the end, however, the health care industry upholds the moral obligation to provide and administer treatment despite whatever social and political outcry might exist from the opposition.
