Box GB473 Providence, RI 02912. (401) 863-3875. Attn: Anne De Groot. AB This paper is excerpted from the journal of a prison physician working with incarcerated HIV-positive women. Each of the three women whose stories she relates are survivors of incest, and each left home as an adolescent or teenager to escape the sexual abuse. The author explains that after these patients left home they sought comfort in alcohol and drugs and in turn became sex workers to support their drug habit. She warns that unless the cycle of abuse is broken, these women will never be free to choose a healthier lifestyle, whether they are already living with HIV or are at risk of becoming infected. Through her work at the prison clinic, the author began to understand the consequences of incest and the need to provide professional counseling and psychotherapy to this target population.

AB This monograph considers the risk of HIV infection faced by law enforcement personnel, the constitutional issues involved with AIDS, and potential liability claims based on inadequate AIDS policies and procedures. The monograph also discusses how law enforcement departments in south Florida deal with the AIDS epidemic. The author sets forth a model Standard Operating Procedure relative to HIV/AIDS. The monograph evaluates the risk involved in typical situations faced by law enforcement officers, such as biting, spitting, administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, needle sticks, and contact with body fluids. The author concludes that while police officers go beyond casual contact when interacting with suspects, HIV is a difficult virus to contract and poses only a small risk of transmission to personnel in the line of duty. The key to avoiding HIV/AIDS-related claims is for every police department and agency to enact and enforce strong HIV/AIDS policies and procedures. MJ Legal liability . Police . Policies .
