| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 哲學研究所 === 96 === The motive of this research is that AIDS is one of the epidemic diseases in the world,although the domestic number of the infected people is less than other countries of the world, it isincreasing year by year, the number of the infected women is risen rapidly from 2004, especially people with drug addiction accounting for the highest proportion. Therefore, we can expect that the number of people with maternal-fetal HIV transmission grows intensively. The extensivere searches in the world show that, in order to prevent maternal-fetal HIV transmission anderadicate HIV transmission, mothers in antenatal should accept AZT, mothers in childbirth should accept Caesarian operation before aching, mothers in postpartum should be forbidden feeding infants breast milk, and should inject infants with AZT. If we are in accordance with this principle, the rate of infected infants with AIDS can be lowered from 20-45% to 2%. Therefore, HIV testing suggested to pregnant women in many countries. It is implemented at present with voluntary HIV testing in domestic. However, there are still many infected people undetected according to theprevious methods of examination. Therefore, the thesis pointed out mandatory HIV testing for high risk groups of AIDS of pregnant women.
First, the thesis distinguished the difference between high risk group and high risk behavior
and explained the reason of adopting high risk group. The government has to fulfill the
obligation of health right and to implement HIV testing, as health right is the basic human rights.
Secondly, the thesis discussed the difficulty of proceeding various of HIV testing. Thirdly, the
thesis pointed out the ethics dispute of mandatory HIV testing for high risk groups of AIDS of
pregnant women. Finally, the thesis attempted to pass philosophy theories as Principlism,Utilitarianism, Kantianism, and Confucian Bioethics not only to prove that the topic is proper inethics but also to probe thoroughly into the public health topic of HIV testing for pregnant women.
