Research topic: ¡°The promotion and protection of human rights in the context of HIV/AIDS: a factor limiting the growth of the epidemic?¡±

Supervisor: Professor William A. Schabas

The link between HIV/AIDS and Human rights became obvious in the reality of the epidemic through the rise of the vulnerability of certain groups of people. HIV/AIDS is a problem in regards of human rights as certain groups of victims of human rights¡¯ violations like women, children, as well as those that live in poverty are incapable to achieve their fundamental rights. The stigma and discrimination that affect people living with the pandemic have an impact on access to efficient treatments, to employment, to health care, to education, to housing, as well as to other rights. The human rights¡¯ protection in the context of HIV/AIDS is not only an imperative of justice to surmount the existing forms of discrimination and intolerance. It is also an instrument to stop the continuous growth of the epidemic.
