for maintaining community life, such as housing, medical care, and property division, when LGBTI people form a family, and legislations and revisions are required for this purpose. 2) Stigma and Discrimination Against People Living with HIV A) Cases of Refusal of Surgery for HIV-Positive People by Medical Institutions and Legal and Institutional Problems In Sep. 2020, an HIV-positive person suffered an accident in which his finger was amputated while working in a factory and was taken to a hospital, but was denied surgery because he was HIV-positive. The hospital said that it was possible, at first, when inquired about a joint surgery, but when it was revealed that they were infected with HIV, the hospital refused by stating that “there was no isolation room and there is a high risk of infection during surgery.” The NHRCK determined, on Aug. 31, 2022, that the hospital's refusal to operate constitutes discrimination against people living with HIV.491) This is because surgery does not require special measures or facilities for infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, and it is sufficient to follow the general measures for infection prevention at medical institutions. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the causative agent of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). An HIV-positive person is a person who has HIV in the body, and an AIDS patient refers to a person with HIV who develops an infection or a malignant tumor due to the destruction of the immune system. With the introduction of antiretroviral therapy in the mid-1990s and the dramatic development of drugs since the 2000s, HIV/AIDS is an infectious disease that can be managed as a chronic disease by suppressing its spread to others with steady drug treatment. However, despite the development of medicine, prejudice and discrimination against the people living with HIV is an unresolved problem. In particular, the delay in proper treatment due to discrimination in the medical process is a problem that is directly related to the health of the infected person.
