| Abstract |
The Law is concerned essentially with the preparation of a national plan of action to deal with the growing menace of AIDS. It includes provisions dealing with the prevention of AIDS contamination in the workplace and with the prohibition of AIDS testing of potential employees. The Decree deals with the specific problems of health-care providers: general safety precautions (elimination of needles and other sharp objects); special categories of workers (dental personnel, people performing autopsies, laboratory workers, first aid and ambulance personnel); responsibilities of employers and workers. |
