Criminalisation
Criminal prosecution and HIV
If you have HIV it is important that you keep a clear picture of the law and HIV. This can be very confusing and there are some high profile cases which have put a spotlight on the sexual behaviour of people with HIV.
This section of the website will hopefully explain some of issues around criminalisation and transmission of HIV.
There are also some helpful advice and support pages around the internet which explains this issue very clearly. Some of these are listed in the links section.
If there is any further information you require about criminal prosecution of HIV or would like to talk to someone about this you can always contact the office.
