The normative regulation of the response to HIV/AIDS in Argentina: Delays, reluctances and non-compliances from a human rights perspective

Abstract

This work seeks to analyze, from the perspective of International Human Rights Law, the old regulations on HIV/AIDS in Argentina, as well as the process that led to the sanction of the new legislation. Along these lines, the responsibility for omission of the national legislator is analyzed. For this, the standards set by various international bodies for the promotion and protection of human rights are collected, as well as the obligations assumed by the Argentine State, while observing some of the deficiencies exhibited by the public policy on HIV/AIDS and the unresolved problems in the last three decades.
