AB One of the authors (T.J.) was invited by the AIDS Advisory Group to form
a widely representative committee to recommend ethical guidelines
concerning the extent to which HIV testing should receive informed
consent. This paper presents and argues for the recommended guidelines.
The question is considered with regard to a number of distinct purposes
of HIV testing: the care of a patient; research; blood, tissue and organ
donation; and the protection of third parties, including the health care
worker. We contend that in each case there is no good reason for the
requirement of informed consent to be significantly waived.
