Can HIV AIDS Policy Law Rev. 2002 Mar;6(3):70-1.
Shortly before the decision in Toyota Motor Manufacturing, the US Court of Appeals (11th Circuit) issued another restrictive judgment, in a case dealing specifically with HIV-based discrimination. On 21 December 2001, in Waddell v Valley Forge Dental Associates Inc, it dismissed the case of a dental hygienist who sued his employer for suspending him from treating patients after he tested HIV-positive. The decision is a setback for efforts to ensure that the Americans with Disabilities Act translates into actual protection against discrimination for people with HIV/AIDS.
在丰田汽车制造公司案做出裁决前不久，美国上诉法院（第十一巡回法院）在另一起专门涉及基于艾滋病病毒的歧视案件中做出了另一项限制性判决。2001年12月21日，在瓦德尔诉谷 Forge牙科协会公司案中，法院驳回了一名牙科保健员的诉讼，该保健员因检测出艾滋病病毒呈阳性后被雇主停职治疗患者而起诉雇主。这一裁决对于确保《美国残疾人法案》转化为对艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者的实际反歧视保护的努力而言是一次挫折。
