  • Title: HIV testing of health care workers.
    Author: Bove VM.
    Journal: Physician Exec; 1992; 18(3):34-8. PubMed ID: 10118408.
    Abstract:
    Until recently, nothing much beyond education and the dispensing of condoms was being done to control the spread of AIDS. We have not yet taken sufficient measures to prevent the spread of this disease. Instead, we insist on protecting the privacy of the HIV-positive individual. However, we ignore the right to privacy by mandating testing for syphilis, which is not nearly as serious a disease as AIDS. Now, mandatory testing of health care workers is being proposed more frequently.
