 AB    Work experience of an NGO in a General Hospital of Buenos Aires city
       included in an association Program between NGO's. The basic question of
       our investigation was: which is the relationship between AIDS and Human
       Rights. In which inflection point between the more elementary human
       rights and the health structures there is a violation process of them.
       The answer seems to be easy AIDS affects life and indeed the rights to
       access to a deserving health system. Given this answer, an infinity of
       strategies can be elaborated in benefit of people living with AIDS. But
       the results of our investigation are indicating that the AIDS problem
       also must make change the classical strategies in defense of Human
       Rights. We have chosen a better position, like for example in social
       field, from where to begin approaches. The people living with HIV cannot
       be instructed in a formal way to defend their own rights. It's being
       needed a permanent and tight view that can assure the defense of
       elementary rights, the same moment of their transgression. Problems like
       being homeless, unemployed, the lack of medicines or medical attention,
       are common to people affected of HIV. Our solution to that kind of
       problem has been the practice of social action services in two argentine
       hospitals that are references to the governmental net. One is located in
       the Federal Capital and the other in the provincial capital city of
       Buenos Aires. A team of operators takes the problems brought by people
       coming to the hospitals or by inpatients, giving quick answer to their
       demands, and at the same time contributing to the education on social,
       human and civil rights of AIDS affected people. This model of approach
       in defense of human rights from the social point of view, supposes new
       methodologies, other alternative and traditional, in the field of the
       defense of rights we experienced.
