HIV/AIDS in Cuba: a model for care or an ethical dilemma - Sarah Z. Hoffman

This essay discusses the framework of HIV / AIDS policies in Cuba, looking at the  policies, and the ethical issues it raises  
The arguemenst that the author makes assert

"Cuba's national AIDS program is the most successful in the world based solely on statistics, and this country also has what many believe is the most interesting program in the world. Cuba took drastic action in public health even before AIDS had reached the country.
While Cuba's successful HIV/AIDS strategies are virtually unmatched anywhere else in the world, many ethical issues are raised by the country's policies. The most controversial part of the program is the mandatory quarantining of every HIV positive individual for eight weeks, even if this policy is legally founded. Patients who leave after these eight weeks and engage in unsafe sex will find themselves in permanent quarantine. This sanatoria policy along with mandatory HIV testing of pregnant women and those infected with other sexually transmitted diseases, and provision of names of all sexual partners of those infected with HIV, violate many individual rights".
