ANNOTATION
Law reviews. For article, "2006 Immigration Legislation in Colorado", see 35 Colo. Law. 79 (Oct. 2006).
Because having AIDS or seeking testing for the presence of such infection should not serve as a basis for discriminatory actions, information concerning the plaintiff's health and possible HIV infection was not of legitimate public concern. Publication of such information by the plaintiff's employer was sufficient to support a claim for invasion of privacy. Borquez v. Robert C. Ozer, P.C., 923 P.2d 166 (Colo. App. 1995), aff'd in part, rev'd in part on other grounds, 940 P.2d 371 (Colo. 1997) (decided prior to 2016 repeal and reenactment).
