As AIDS contagion spreads at epidemic proportions, and fear of the fatal disease runs rampant, it is noteworthy to recognize the legal impacts of the disease, especially as they affect the health care profession. Hospitals and blood banks face potentially unlimited liability if found legally responsible for transmitting AIDS through blood transfusions. A question remains as to what liability standard may provide or prevent recovery. This Comment balances the interests in providing recovery to AIDS victims against the interests in promoting available public health care and medical advancement.
随着艾滋病以流行的规模蔓延，对这种致命疾病的恐惧四处蔓延，认识到该疾病的法律影响是值得注意的，尤其是其对医疗行业的影响。如果医院和血库被认定在通过输血传播艾滋病方面负有法律责任，它们可能面临潜在的无限责任。关于何种责任标准可以提供或阻止赔偿仍存在一个问题。本评论在为艾滋病受害者提供赔偿的利益与促进可获得的公共医疗保健和医学进步的利益之间进行了权衡。
