“…As more children with HIV infection survive long enough to enter school, families and schools are faced with a number of complex medical and social issues. [3][4][5][6] These issues include the impact of illness on school attendance, disclosure of HIV infection status, confidentiality surrounding disclosure, and medication use during school hours.…”

Only 3% of school-age children were too ill to attend school, and almost all were enrolled in public schools. The number of HIV-infected children reaching school age will continue to grow, and public schools will bear the responsibility for educating these children. Health care providers will increasingly be called upon for guidance by both educators and families to assure that HIV-infected children receive the best education possible.

There is a predicted increase in the number of children with HIV/AIDS in schools. Due to this increase, schools and educators need to be prepared for the special needs these children may have. In the present aggregate of literature and research, the following topical strands are examined: (a) overview of HIV/AIDS in school children; (b) HIV/AIDS demographics and incidence; (c) legal issues; (d) medical and psychosocial issues; (e) special education issues; (f) biases and barriers; (g) school policies, knowledge base, and training level; and (h) implications for practice.

“…(6) Parents generally, have no need or right to know. (p. 83) It would seem that Crocker's best practice guidelines (Crocker et al, 1994), regarding protecting the HIV/AIDS affected family's privacy, are equally appropriate for the Canadian context.

“…One such set was developed by Dr. Allen Crocker and colleagues at the Children's Hospital in Boston. In these guidelines, Crocker outlines the necessity of protecting the privacy and confidentiality of HIV/AIDS infected students in the school setting (Crocker et al, 1994). The premise of protecting the privacy of HIV/AIDS infected children has been supported by many other theorists (Harvey, 1994; Kelker, Hecimovic, & LeRoy, 1994;Lewert, 1988).…”

Recent advances in HIV/AIDS treatments are extending the life expectancy of many infected children, allowing them to survive well into their school age years. However the mixing of pædiatric HIV/AIDS and school systems has not been an easy one. This article discusses the primary ethical dilemmas involved when children with HIV/AIDS attend school: a) the right to admittance and b) the right to privacy. A review of the American and Canadian ethical and legal findings surrounding these two contentious issues is offered.
