We, as women living with HIV in Uganda do not support the criminalization clause in the HIV Prevention and AIDS Control Bill 2010
Our position since 2010 has been the same that criminalization of HIV is bad and therefore, not called for.
In addition to negatively impacting on the HIV & AIDS response in the country, it will also have adverse impact on women.
Applying criminal law to HIV exposure or transmission does nothing to address the epidemic characterized by gender-based violence or the deep economic, social, and political inequalities that are at the root of women’s and girls’ disproportionate vulnerability to HIV.
