permitted to decline testing for their child, why or why not? 4. If
newborns test positive, what types of treatment are available in that
country? 5. Describe the economic impact of HIV treatment in the
country and whether testing newborns would reduce or increase the
economic and health care burden. 6. Discuss the cultural
considerations and ethical principles that would both support and
create a barrier impacting the citizens of the country to adopt your
recommendations. 7. Discuss your opinion of the overall impact that
your recommendation would have on this country. Minimum of 2,300
