  • Title: Psychiatric patients and AIDS: the forensic clinician perspective.
    Author: Weinstock R, Leong GB, Silva JA.
    Journal: J Forensic Sci; 1990 May; 35(3):644-52. PubMed ID: 2348181.
    Abstract:
    A survey was completed by American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) Psychiatry and Behavioral Science members regarding their opinions on acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, (AIDS)-related issues. A considerable range of opinions was found, probably reflecting such differences in society. There was general agreement that psychiatric hospitals should not be allowed to refuse AIDS patients and that education about AIDS is useful for psychiatric patients. There was also support for notifying the public health department, known sexual contacts, and hospital staff about human-immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-seropositive patients.
