- 'I heartily recommend this outstanding volume to anyone interested in medical ethics, whether or not their primary interest is concerned with HIV/AIDS. It explores the rich perspectives that this terrible pandemic has given us on contemporary medical ethics.' -Anthony J Pinching, Journal of Medical Ethics
An international team of eighteen doctors, philosophers, and lawyers present a fresh and thorough discussion of the ethical, legal, and social issues raised by testing and screening for HIV and AIDS. They aim to point the way to practical advances but also to give an accessible guide for those new to the debate.
