Ethical Reflections on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome Prevention and Control Strategies in China from the Perspec-tive of Decriminalization
This study examines the impact of current regulations in China on human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS)prevention and control,dissecting their challenges in safeguarding individual rights and promoting a balance in public health.Using empirical cases and the HIV/AIDS paradox as entry points,the paper analyzes the ethical issues related to criminalization of HIV/AIDS transmission,proposing scientific,ethical,and legal strategies.This paper emphasizes that treating the transmission of the HIV virus as a public health issue is the most effective approach.In the formulation of regulations and judicial practices,integration of scientific facts and medical evidence is essential to avoid overly broad criminalization.In decision-making processes,a comprehensive consideration of principles from bioethics is crucial to minimize potential cross-discrimination,intersectional stigma,and violent harm.Additionally,there should be a focus on complementary or alternative approaches from a public health perspective to ensure proactive and effective interventions.
