title: A legal perspective on AIDS.
abstract: AIDS presents difficult and unprecedented legal problems. Because modern law requires that persons with disabilities or illnesses be integrated into the mainstream of society, past responses to those with communicable diseases are no longer acceptable. Laws dealing with AIDS patients will have to evolve gradually and build upon commonsense solutions to problems.
