Abstract
The World Health Organization has estimated that there were 33.4 million people living with HIV/AIDS in 2008. In the United States alone, it was estimated that there were 1.1 million people living with a diagnosis of HIV/AIDS in 2011 (Kaiser, 2011). With the recognition of the disease in the early 1980s came the need to protect those with the disease and, at the same time, the need to decrease its rate of transmission to others. To that end, governments and courts have, over time, developed bodies of laws that codify rights and obligations related to those who carry the disease.
