Forced sterilzation & HIV in Chile

Here's an article from feministing.com where a woman in Chile was sterilized without her knowledge because she was HIV positive. We've posted information about issues of confidentiality and HIV testing recently (I think it's in January's batch of posts), and how the disclosure of this information has been and continues to be used to discriminate individuals from jobs, immigration and more. In this instance, this woman was robbed of her choice in reproduction.
