title: HIV-Positive Athletes.
abstract: In brief Though the risk of HIV transmission in sports' is slight, physicians who treat active patients can encounter some weighty legal issues. Mandatory testing, exclusion of HIV-positive athletes from competition, and breaching of patient confidentiality are actions that can lead to lawsuits. Knowing the possible consequences can help physicians in setting effective-and legal-prevention policies.
