HIV-AIDS:
Issues in Treatment, Stigma, and Policy Symposium
A statewide symposium, HIV-AIDS: Issues in Treatment,
Stigma, and Policy, sponsored by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Law/Psychology
Program, UNL
Psychology Department and the Public Policy Center, was
held April 22-24, 1999.
The symposium took an interdisciplinary approach to
the investigation of three closely related issues: life-sustaining
treatment for persons with HIV-AIDS; the stigma of HIV-AIDS; and
public policies intended to live with-or be protected from acquiring-HIV-AIDS.
The symposium presented a variety of approaches that
explore the ways in which the stigma associated with HIV has had
an impact on public policy and access to treatment from the perspective
of the biomedical, behavioral science, and legal professions, as
well as more practical, experiential aspects of public policy. Topics
included Medical and Social Perspectives on Adherence Issues; Using
Law to Assist Persons with HIV-AIDS; Stigma: A Barrier to Successful
Treatment and Policy Interventions; Special Populations and Problems;
and Research and Policy.
