ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The delivery of public health policies may be in conflict with individualism.OBJECTIVES:
To propose measures to ethically provide routine HIV testing services to persons visiting a funeral home. RESEARCHDESIGN:
A document analysis of study documents and presentations made to an institutional review board. PARTICIPANTS AND RESEARCH CONTEXT Institutional review board members (both lay and professionals) and Study investigators attending an `open session' where study investigators were invited to elaborate on some study procedures. ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS Identities of all parties were anonymized.FINDINGS:
Opt-out approaches to HIV testing, grief counseling, relational ethics, and a modular consenting process were proposed to safeguard clients' autonomy. The golden-rule approach and protective empowering were suggested to protect clientele beneficence. DISCUSSION ANDCONCLUSION:
It is possible to ethically provide universal HIV testing and counseling services among grieving populations in this setting; elsewhere, this should be contextualized.Palavras-chave
