P8718 Privacy, the state, and epidemic disease: policy conflicts in AIDS and tuberculosis
A critical examination of the ethical and political controversies that
have emerged in efforts to control tuberculosis and AIDS. The paradigm
of disease prevention that emerged in response to tuberculosis---case
finding, case reporting, treatment, and quarantine-are examined in
the context of AIDS, where concerns about the right to privacy have
been given such salience. Topics considered include screening,
reporting by name, criminalization of transmission, discrimination, and
access to care. Midterm exam and term paper required.
