ABSTRACT
The article deals with some issues of forensic medicine relevance, as well as ethical one, about HIV+/AIDS condition, which still represent open problems in regulations and in the case-law. Particularly, in the light of the specific Italian regulations (namely, the Law 5 June 1990 no. 135), the Authors address the juridical fundaments of the care of HIV+/AIDS patients, reaffirming the obligation for all the healthcare professionals to give care in every case of infection from HIV. Secondly, the issue of the diagnostic tests and the screenings is faced, sustaining the obligatoriness to gain an adequate previous consent by the subject and, however, only for clinical necessity and in his/her best interest. Finally, the delicate matter of the professional secrecy is examined, of the guardianship of confidentiality and of the partner notification is examined. In general, although the doctrine and jurisprudence not justify the transmission of HIV+/AIDS patient's personal data, yet the specific matter is not easily resolvable exclusively in juridical terms, because it is necessary remind also the extra-juridical--that is ethical--nature of deontological norms.
