The hospital as provider and employer: the case of AIDS
Article Abstract:
Hospitals, as providers of healthcare services, face a larger responsibility protecting the rights of HIV-infected employees or employees with AIDS than do regular employers. As well as safeguarding the rights of their employees, hospitals must also safeguard the health of patients. Protecting patients from unnecessary risks while respecting the rights of HIV-positive employees is difficult as the two aims often are contradictory.
