 AB    Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is frightening and fatal. The great
       fear of acquiring HIV magnifies ethical issues concerning patients and
       health care workers. Practitioners in the field of rehabilitation
       medicine will become increasingly aware of these issues, because at
       least 50% of patients with HIV-related illnesses develop neurological
       disorders. Many will need physical, emotional, social, psychological or
       vocational restoration. This article explores some of the ethical issues
       related to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) rehabilitation,
       including confidentiality, risk of exposure to infected patients or
       infected health care workers, treatment of patients and the rights of
       patients and health care workers.
