Bayer argues that it was fear of discrimination that led public health officials to reject “traditional” public health devices and to opt for an “exceptional” noncoercive response to the HIV epidemic. See Bayer Ronald , “Commentary—Rethinking Aspects of AIDS Policy,” Journal of Contemporary Health Law and Policy, 11, no. 2 (1995): 457–72. While Bayer does not advocate the use of coercive measures in response to HIV, indeed he argues that they would be counterproductive, he is critical of HIV exceptionalism.
