Introduction: Surgeons that are working with HIV-infected patients in Ukraine are in a vulnerable state due to the lack of special regulation of this issue in labor, medical law and labor contract, as well as the spread of HIV among the population of the country. The aim of this article is to determine and uncover the content of the rights of surgeons while working with HIV-infected patients in Ukraine. Materials and Methods: The research materials of the rights of the surgeons that are working with HIV-infected patients consist of national legislation, official explanations of the Social Insurance Fund of Ukraine, statistics on HIV infection. The research methods that have been used are cross-sectoral, complex statistical, analysis and synthesis. In order to obtain the results of the research the norms of medical, labor and civil law have been analyzed. Review: The authors of the article have emphasized and described the rights of surgeons that are working with HIV-infected patients. Conclusions: It has been proved that the current system of surgeons’ rights needs to be improved. It has been offered: to establish, at the legislative level, the responsibility of the patient with HIV infection to warn a medical employee about his infection in case of surgery or other medical manipulation that leads to contact with blood or other biological materials; to revise and significantly increase the payment of obligatory insurance of surgeons, if they are infected by a patient with HIV infection.
