This is a practical rather than theoretical book about the relationship between public health and human rights in HIV/AIDS. Using a human rights impact assessment method, the authors provide a critical evaluation of public health policies on many troublesome issues like testing, partner notification, isolation, and criminalization.

Historically, the fields of public health and human rights have remained largely separate. The AIDS pandemic, however, made it clear that a complex relationship exists between the two fields.
