| Summary: | This article explores the relevance of international human rights law in the response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic at national and international levels. Public health advocates can use arguments based on this body of law to promote responses to HIV/AIDS that reflect sound public health principles and documented best practice.

Legal and human rights advocacy strategies are increasingly productive and necessary. |
