While I was working towards earning my undergrad degree, I had the opportunity to work with individuals who was living and suffering with HIV/AIDS.  From my observations while in these internships, I can honestly say that these are good and normal individuals for the most part, and that they were also outcast in the eyes of some medical professionals.  Moreover, I come to find that the lack of proper access to medications and treatment for Hiv/Aids patients is a serious problem in today’s society.  Studies suggest “even though equal access to healthcare is available, this same access does not always guarantee equal treatment of HIV/AIDS clients” (Backman et al, 2008).  Other data suggest that “there is also a lack of ethical practices in the protection of infected patient’s privacy” (Mann, 1998).

Throughout this project, I will be discussing the concerns and issues in which HIV/AIDS individuals has endured regarding the health care that they receive and the bias behaviors towards the heterosexuals and the homosexuals in the health care industry.  In this class project I will discuss practices of biased behavior towards, Hiv/Aids infected hetero and homosexuals on the part of our community’s, and healthcare industry.  My rationale is discuss and explain throughout this paper, the importance of the human rights that are due to the HIV/AIDS population that are being denied or overlooked in the medical industry.
