Complemtary/Alternative Health Care and HIV/AIDS: Legal, Ethical, and Policy Issues in Regulation “is the first in a series of papers to be produced by the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network as part of a project on Legal, Ethical and Policy Issues Related to HIV/AIDS Care, Treatment and Support… This paper begins with an overview of some of the available information regarding these medical, social, and personal dimensions of CAM use, drawing upon data from Canada and other comparable settings. With this context in mind, the paper then discusses a number of ethical issues related to the use of complementary and/or alternative health-care practices, based on the four key ethical principles of non-maleficence, beneficence, respect for autonomy, and justice. This evidentiary and ethical analysis leads to a number of conclusions in the areas of research, education/training, and regulation. The last section considers the Canadian legal context for regulating complementary/alternative health-care products and practitioners; the reader can assess whether the current regulatory environment is acceptable in light of the ethical considerations outlined.” The paper is also downloadable on the site as a PDF document.
