An Analysis of Clinical Questions Asked at Professor Rounds: A Ten-Year Review of Topics

The Duty to Treat Asymptomatic HIV-Positive Patients or Face Disability Discrimination Under Abbott v. Bragdon: The Scylla and Charybdis Facing Today\u27s Dental and Health Care Providers

Imagine yourself in the following scenario. You are an experienced dentist with a small private practice, and you routinely accept new patients and referrals.

Stretching the Limits of the ADA: Asymptomatic HIV-Positive Status as a Disability in \u3ci\u3eBragdon v. Abbott\u3c/i\u3e, 118 S. Ct. 2196 (1998)

This Note points out problems with the Bragdon v. Abbott Supreme Court decision and ultimately argues that an asymptomatic HIV-positive person is not disabled under the first definition of disability contained in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); that is, “a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of such individual.” An asymptomatic HIV-positive individual is not disabled within that definition because, even though he or she suffers from a physical impairment, the impairment does not substantially limit any major life activity. Although this Note rejects the argument that reproduction is a major life activity even assuming arguendo that reproduction is a major life activity within the meaning of the ADA, the ability to reproduce is not substantially limited. Any limitation comes not from the physical impairment itself, but from the individual’s reaction to the disease
