 AB    Legal issues involving human immunodeficiency virus are consuming an
       increasing amount of the attention of hospitals and nurse
       administrators. At times, the legal interests of patients, staff, and
       administrators conflict, and it is the duty of healthcare administrators
       to determine which interests should prevail. Recently, two courts have
       dealt with this problem. In a previous article (JONA October 1995), the
       author discussed the first case, which involved antidiscrimination
       versus workplace safety. In this article, the author discusses the
       second case, which also involves issues of antidiscrimination and
       workplace safety, but with a decidedly different twist. She identifies
       the legal dilemma and suggests ways in which nurse administrators can
       recognize and reconcile such conflicts.
