Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the two years since the publication of the first edition of this book, the global spread of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) has continued. HIV was estimated by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1993 to have at least 13 million individuals worldwide, with 1 million infected infected in the United States. HIV/AIDS in the United States has become the leading cause of death among men 25 to 44 years of age and the fifth leading cause of death among women of the same age group. Prevention of HIV infection remains a global challenge. Testing for HIV is the cornerstone for surveillance and prevention programs and for the provision of appropriate medical care for those who are infected. Such testing is equally essential to the search for effective antivirus drugs and vaccines. This second edition of AIDS Testing incorporates the most current thinking on test methodology and interpretation, some of which has changed considerably over the past two years. This edition also has been expanded to include a section consisting of six chapters on test applica tions and a section consisting of four chapters on management issues. This edition, like the first, describes in clear terms all the complex ele ments of testing, including applications, scientific principles, quality assurance, safety, and medical, ethical, and legal considerations.
Download or read book Human Immunodeficiency Virus Antibody Testing and the Right of Privacy written by Anne Leslie MacArthur and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome(AIDS) cases continues to increase in the United States. The disease's causative agent, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV, appears to have infected an additional number of asymptomatic people. Both the disease and the infection are shrouded with misinformation and misunderstanding. The public reaction is that of fear and discrimination against both the infected and the ill. Blood tests exist for the detection of antibodies to the virus. There is tremendous pressure from the public to use the virus antibody tests, originally invented to screen the nation's blood supply, to screen the infected from the uninfected. The danger is that the results of the tests will be misused. This paper examines HIV antibody testing, its meaning, and the legal protections available to prevent unwarranted disclosure. Legal protections include federal statutes, the United States Constitution as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court and the appellate courts, state constitutional law, the state physician-patient privilege, medical records statutes and finally specific state laws on HIV antibody testing. It will be shown that many of the laws are very narrow in scope and that the right of privacy is subject to conflicting public health and public policy interests. No single law offers the protection desired by a person infected with the HIV; rather, a combination of laws or doctrines must be used. Keywords: Immunosuppression, Virus diseases.
