Synopsis:
Testing and screening for HIV and AIDS give rise to ethical, legal, and social issues of the most controversial and delicate kind. In this highly important book, an international team of eighteen doctors, philosophers, and lawyers present a fresh and thorough discussion of these issues. They not only aim to show the way to practical advances but also to provide an accessible guide to the debates for readers who have not been previously introduced to them. And they pay particular attention to the sensitive nature of the information yielded by a test for the HIV antibody. Together, the essays illuminate public policy and medical practice in connection with HIV and AIDS as well as broader issues about professional ethics and individual rights in other medical and social contexts.
About the Author: Rebecca Bennett is a Lecturer in Bioethics at the University of Manchester. Charles A. Erin is a Senior Lecturer in Applied Philosophy at the Faculty of Law, University of Manchester.
