2010 Global Criminalisation Scan Report
Saturday, 24 July 2010 16:18
The 2010 Global Criminalisation Scan gives a global overview of the extent to which criminal and other laws have been used to prosecute people living with HIV for HIV transmission and exposure.
The full impact of these laws on the human rights of people living with HIV and on access to treatment, care and support has yet to be fully understood. However, the evidence presented here shows that there is no correlation between the HIV prevalence in a country and the willingness of countries to use criminal laws and other punitive measures to regulate transmission.

Documenting HIV-related human rights violations against people living with HIV (PLHIV)
Globally people living with HIV are experiencing human rights violations which are related to their HIV-positive status. The Global Network of People living with HIV (GNP+) documents these violations through the Human Rights Count! Findings from pilot studies in Kenya, Nigeria and Zambia show that the most common right violated is the right to work, with work being terminated or denied owing to the HIV positive status of the person. More importantly in all three countries more than 60% of the people whose rights were violated did not report the violations to the authorities.

While it brought together an amazing mix from regions and countries, with all geographic areas of the HIV response represented, it by no means reflected the diversity of the communities of young people most affected by HIV.
