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.
