Civil Rights — Hospital AIDS Testing for Employees — Leckelt v. Board of Commissioners of Hospital District No. 1 x — The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held that dismissal of a hospital employee who refused to submit to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing did not constitute unlawful discrimination. The court found that the hospital had a substantial interest in providing a safe environment through infection control, and that plaintiff's civil and privacy rights were not unduly infringed. The decision allows health care facilities to require HIV testing of employees who appear to pose a risk of communicating the HIV virus to patients. Whether health care facilities can impose such a testing requirement on all employees remains unanswered by this opinion.
