Switzerland, the law, and HIV: an overview.
From the first appearance of HIV/AIDS in Switzerland in the mid 1980s, various legal tools have been implemented to combat the disease, most of them based on legislation already in force. To date, there has been no specific AIDS-related legislation, but if the formal legal framework has changed very little, practice has developed and demonstrates the extent to which the law reflects current societal values. At the risk of "giving the game away," it must be said at the outset that there are virtually no major HIV/AIDS-related legal problems in Switzerland.
