Abstract

Little is known, however, about the impact of this phenomenon on people living with HIV/AIDS (PHAs). In this article, based on an oral abstract presentation at AIDS 2010, Carol Galletly provides information on research into the impact on PHAs of the HIV exposure law of the state of Michigan.
