Pharmacists are licensed by the state in which they practice. Here are the laws for Virginia
Virginia Board of Pharmacy - Laws & Regulations
Admittedly, I don't have time to read a book on this subject, but after a quick scan, I can find no code of ethics. Additionally, you would think with all the publicity this has gotten, if there was an ethics violation of some kind, charges would have been brought. I can't find any articles on the web that say charges of any kind have been filed. Maybe someone else has seen something with more info about this.

I wonder if they are also going to choose not to stock HIV (or any other STD for that matter) meds?

I believe that this is more related to specific church teachings against birth control, as in sex for procreation only. This is most prevalent in the Catholic church. I know of no church that prohibits the treatment of HIV or STD's, and as a matter of fact there are quite a few that participate in, and sponsor programs for those who are HIV positive.
