They have the same rights as anyone else with a chronic disease. They don't have to disclose their status. "Reasonable accomodations" must be made for them in school or the workplace. Treatment depends on their insurance.
2 :
Theyre rights include: *discrimination *Name reporting *mandatory testing *privacy *fear of disclosure and many more. These are all that I remember. Hope I get the ten points though!

They have all the same rights that you do!..Why wouldn't they?...Yes, its true a lot of ppl get HIV/AIDS from drug use and maybe even unprotected sex...but a lot of ppl get it from really crappy circumstances.... They are ppl just like we are and shouldn't be treated any different....Just be careful around their bodily fluids...
