Can a doctor/dentist or hospital deny treatment to a person with HIV?
No, while even into the early 1990s doctors refused treatment, this is no longer the case. However the law allows doctors and dentist to refer HIV infected individuals to other doctors if they feel they cannot appropriately treat the individual. In some places the doctors have simply stopped taking new patients. By only seeing patients that are referred to them they can get around the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
