Discrimination of the carriers of the HIV

In certain countries, the people carrying the Virus of the human immunodéficience (HIV, associated with the development of the AIDS) are victims of discrimination .

In the extreme cases, that can go to the internment in camps, “sidatoriums”, people infected and sick (case in particular of Cuba). Just as one could speak in addition about “sanatoria”.

But even in the countries respecting the Human rights, of the HIV positives and patients are victims of a social discrimination:

on behalf of the entourage;
on behalf of the employers (Discrimination at the time of recruitment, hierarchical absence of progression).

In France

A study of 2005 of Sida Information Service showed that 57,3% of the HIV positive people already estimate to be discriminated because of their seropositivity, and in particular for 43,7% of the people questioned on behalf of professionals of the care, and in particular on behalf of Dentiste S. Because of that, almost a quarter of the questioned people gave up at least an occasion to go to consult, and approximately a third did not reveal its statute serologic during a consultation.

The French politician of Extrême right-hand side Jean-Marie Le Pen recommended in the Années 1980 the creation of sidatoriums. In its program for the presidential of 2002, he recommended the systematic tracking of the AIDS in France, and in particular “at the borders obviously, at the time of the marriage, of the pregnancy, in prison medium or of prostitution and at all those which have a collective responsibility”.

Development of legal discriminations in the world due to disease

Associations of patients and LGBT were declared worry about the evolution of the legal restrictive measures implemented to restrict the conditions of entry, circulation and residence of the people reached by the HIV or having developed the AIDS, certain countries which can even expel a patient entered however legally on their territory and which, without this disease, would not have been private of this right.

However, the implementation of these restrictive measures includes in certain countries the suspiscion of disease against people LGBT, even if the tests (which could result in taking restriction measures of access, even expulsions) are often not required systematically, without counting that one cannot always know who is LGBT, which not. These restrictions extend sometimes to the boyfriends, couple, children, even if one of the members has a nationality and a right of residence permanent and normally inalienable, but these measurements can sometimes also apply to those which obtained their naturalization recently (for example in the policy of access to the care). The implementation of obligatory medical tests for obtaining visas, at the borders, or for obtaining residence permit, or the obligatory declaration of the patients or HIV positives, potentially constitutes a violation of the charters of freedom of circulation, harms the tracking campaigns at the people already resident, and is contrary with the recommendations of the the World Health Organization.

According to Act Up - Paris, in the eleven following countries, the declared carriers of the HIV “are prohibited to enter on the national territory even as a tourist”: Saudi Arabia, Arménie, Brunei, China, South Korea, the United States, Iraq, Moldavie, Qatar, Russia, Sudan.

Lastly, as one can read it in the headings concerned, it could be that the release of opportunist diseases rather requires treatments adapted to each type of pathological affection, rather perhaps that important Chimiothérapie S with adverse effect, in fact, such as AZT was a time and maintaining the multi-therapies. According to certain authors, it could be even that there is no relationship between what one agrees to call AIDS (S) and possible (retro) a virus such as that of the assumption known as of the V.I.H., and which certain chemical treatments could cause already more damage than to have really helped. All that remaining of the assumptions.
