Abstract

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) will be the most challenging and complex health problem of the century. Because of the catastrophic nature of AIDS and the fear the disease engenders, the AIDS epidemic in the United States is posing medical, legal, and ethical questions to policy makers at all levels. The issues raised by AIDS are controversial and the center of public attention. These issue parallel many of the legal, ethical, professional, and social issues that exist in the provision of health care for the entire population. It is paramount that the medical, legal, and ethical questions related to the provision of health care for those with AIDS be addressed, particularly at a time when many health related decisions being made are based on economic concerns. We must not lose sight of individuals' rights.
