Abstract
El recurso reiterado a cláusulas que limitan el ejercicio de derechos, el desarrollo de actividades o elacceso a servicios a quienes "padecen enfermedades infecto-contagiosas", además de generarincertidumbre, se ha convertido en una fuente constante de discriminaciones. El objetivo de este trabajoes mostrar cómo la sustitución de estas cláusulas por otras más precisas es exigible tanto para hacerefectivo el mandato de igualdad contenido en la Constitución española de 1978, cuanto por la necesidadde garantizar la seguridad jurídica.Efectivamente, en el Derecho español resultan discriminatorios los tratamientos diferenciados que afectana las personas que viven con una enfermedad infecciosa si no es posible justificarlos teniendo en cuentalas vías de transmisión y el modo en que la infección en el caso concreto afecta al desarrollo de funciones.La adecuada protección de la salud pública y de los derechos individuales exige determinar lascondiciones en las que, en general, en relación con cada enfermedad transmisible, y, en particular, enrelación con el VIH, procede el establecimiento de exclusiones, restricciones o preferencias entre laspersonas basadas en su estado de salud.
The reiteration of clauses that limit the exercise of rights, the development of activities or the access to services to those who 'suffer from infectious diseases', creates uncertainty, but, especially, has become a constant source of discrimination. The aim of this paper is to show how the replacement of the clauses by other more accurate is necessary to implement the mandate of equality contained in the 1978 Spanish Constitution and to ensure legal certainty. Indeed, in Spanish law are discriminatory differential treatments of people living with an infectious disease if they disregard the transmission routes and how the infection affects the development of functions. Adequate protection of public health and individual rights requires the determination of conditions under which, in general, for each disease, and in particular in relation to HIV, it is possible to accept the establishment of exclusions, restrictions or preferences among people based on their health.
