Abstract

Should newborn babies and/or pregnant women be tested on a mandatory basis for the presence of HIV infection? This can be answered on the basis of ethical principles that take into account the rights of maternal privacy and whether the medical interests of the child pose a challenge to those rights. This paper argues that the conditions for imposing mandatory screening do not exist in either case at the present time.
