ABSTRACT
Segregation, based on fear of liability, is being practiced regarding persons with HIV infection. The story is told of 16-year-old Chris, who has mental retardation and a positive blood test for HIV infection. He lost his foster care placement, underwent a lengthy hospital admission, and had a long and complicated process for resolution of his program plans. Also involved were breach of consent, violation of confidentiality, and discrimination. Policy concerns about decision-making in the child welfare system regarding persons with HIV infection were discussed.
