Toward Consent in Molecular HIV Surveillance?: Perspectives of Critical Stakeholders

CONCLUSIONS: MHS/CDR has caused sustained controversy. Among critical stakeholders, consent is generally desirable but contested, although the right for people living with HIV to be informed was centrally supported. In an era of big data-driven public health interventions and routine uses of HIV genetic sequence data in surveillance and prevention, CDC and other agencies should revisit public health ethics frameworks and consider the possibility of consent processes.PMID:37768111 | DOI:10.1080/23294515.2023.2262967
