Hi my name is mohamed and i am doing a project for government about AIDS in U.S.A and world wide. What law are there in U.S that help people who have HIV?AIDS and is there law world wide? thank you: p.s. and if there are any please email me the websites.

Response from Ms. Breuer

Mohamed, your new best friend is www.google.com, or any search engine that you can use to research these topics:

Americans with Disabilities Act (the law that protects people with disabilities, including HIV/AIDS, from discrimination in employment, public accommodations and housing)

HIV+legal rights

HIV/AIDS discrimination + (country)

No worldwide law exists concerning HIV and AIDS.

Just searching these topics will take you to a huge set of resources about legal rights of persons with HIV. They vary widely from country to country.
