Abstract	This technical report is part of a series on AIDS/HIV (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome/Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and is intended to help link various legal advocacy organizations providing services to persons with mental illness or developmental disabilities. Through a series of case examples, questions, background information, and resources for further study, this report is designed to assist with HIV/AIDS policy implementation. An overview of major federal laws and court rulings provides information on key federal disability policy issues, laws and regulations, and court rulings. Questions for discussion are provided for the two case studies. Definitions of major disability terminology as applied to AIDS (e.g., access to services, confidentiality, duty to warn) are also given. A checklist allows advocates to evaluate an agency in terms of: (1) HIV testing policy and informed consent; (2) confidentiality; (3) universal precautions; (4) intake and assessments; (5) access to services; and (6) education. Twenty-one additional resources are recommended. (DB)
