Abstract | In this article, the author questions whether confidentiality laws interfere with the effort to meet the educational needs of HIV positive children. Laws intended to provide children with equal access to education often function primarily to keep schools "safe" for dominant groups rather than to serve more marginalized children most effectively. She argues that the legal discourse and apparatus that have developed around HIV, despite their often-progressive intentions, prevent school from being a satisfying experience for many HIV positive children. Presenting qualitative research on the school experiences of two HIV positive elementary schoolchildren, she demonstrates some inadequacies of current policies to make room for new conceptualizations of how to be inclusive of populations of children who do not easily fit into the current systems. Thus, although children with HIV are a relatively small population, and their experiences differ significantly from those of children with less stigmatized illnesses, this examination nonetheless has implications for exploring how schools accommodate marginalized populations in general.
