社交平台强制披露用户艾滋病感染状态的法律伦理分析

Analysis on Labeling Users’ HIV Status on Social Media from the Legal and Ethical Perspectives

为减少艾滋病通过社交软件交友传播,个别学者倡议,移动社交平台强制其用户在注册或使用社交软件时主动披露自身的艾滋病感染状态,即明确标识自己是否是艾滋病感染者。从法律、伦理和操作层面对强制披露社交软件用户的艾滋病感染状态进行剖析,认为该倡议违反了我国现行的法律法规和基本伦理准则,不具有操作性,不利于艾滋病控制。移动社交软件平台要依法依规运行,确保纯洁、健康的社交氛围,并利用互联网平台受众广泛、信息传递快速及时的特点,积极成为促进用户健康生活方式的平台和抓手。

In order to reduce the potential risks of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission associated with social media app use,scholars suggest mandatory labeling of users' HIV status,i.e.,all users must actively disclose his/hers HIV status on the social media apps before using it.The authors argue that this suggestion violates current laws and regulations,is against basic ethical principles,and is impossible to fully implement.It also contradicts the objective of controlling the HIV epidemic.All social media apps must follow the law,regulations,and basic ethical principles to create a healthy social atmosphere.Social media apps should become platforms for promoting healthy life styles among app users,utilizing its broad coverage and rapid dissemination.
