dc.description.abstract | Abstract: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected athletes exist at the collegiate level and are engaging in competitive sports, as was revealed by a 1993 NCAA survey. Unfortunately, there is a void when the issue of policy for the HIVpositive athlete and his or her participation rights at the
collegiate level is addressed. Given the controversial nature of
opinion on HIV and the resultant acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS), it is recommended that a policy be in place
for an HIV-infected athlete before it is needed. Ithaca College
has recently developed such a policy, and it is offered here to
other educational institutions as a model. It is emphasized
throughout the policy that HIV-positive athletes should not be
restricted from athletic participation for the reason of infection
alone, that strict confidentiality guidelines should be followed,
and that mandatory testing of athletes for HIV is not justified. | |
