Keywords:
state policy, legal provision, treatment programs, HIV, AIDS.
Abstract
This article analyzes the legal and policy aspects related to HIV/AIDS in Ukraine from bioethical, medical, and legal perspectives. The objective of this study is to examine the adequacy of existing policies and legal provisions to address socially hazardous diseases such as HIV/AIDS in the country. The methodology employed includes a review of existing literature and legal documents related to HIV/AIDS. The findings suggest that although Ukraine has made significant progress in tackling HIV/AIDS, there are still significant gaps in the legal and policy framework regarding the disease. These gaps include a lack of comprehensive legislation and policies, inadequate funding for the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS, and stigma and discrimination against those living with the disease. Overall, this study highlights the urgent need for a more holistic approach to address HIV/AIDS in Ukraine, including strengthening the legal and policy framework, increasing funding for prevention and treatment programs, and addressing the societal stigma and discrimination associated with the disease.
