Criminalization of HIV+ people doesn’t work
Positive Prevention won’t work until stigma and discrimination directed against HIV positive people are eradicated, the concept of positive prevention cannot focus on prevention of HIV transmission.
Until HIV positive people, especially women, claim the sovereignty of their sexual and reproductive health lives and have access to comprehensive health care many will continue to needlessly die
Treatment will fail without basic social determinants of health including food and water

10 Reasons
1. Criminalisation is ineffective
2. Criminal laws and criminal prosecutions are a poor substitute for measures that really protect those at risk
3. Criminalisation victimises, oppresses and endangers women
4. Criminal laws are often unfairly and selectively enforced
5. Criminalisation places blame on one person instead of responsibility on two
![Page 19: FEEDBACK Living 2008 Summit & XVII International AIDS Conference Universal Action Now Mexico City August 2008 Silvia Petretti Community Development Manager](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dff5503460f94ae7045/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
10 Reasons
6. Criminal laws targeting HIV are difficult and degrading to apply
7. Many of the laws are extremely poorly drafted
8. Criminalisation increases stigma
9. Criminalisation is a strong disincentive to testing
10. Criminalisation assumes the worst about people with HIV, and so punishes vulnerability

HUMAN RIGHTS
• When condoms are available, when women have the power to use them, when those with HIV or at risk of it can get testing and treatment, when they are not afraid of stigma, ostracism and discrimination, they are far more likely to be able to act consistently for their own safety and that of others

“Those of us who are living with HIV and have come to terms with that diagnosis […] in terms of our own ability to survive the traumas of our diagnosis and daily fight for our rights to existence.
Each and every one of you who live and breath HIV is a leader, people with other health conditions look up to us for inspiration […] Do not give up, when life knocks you flat on your face get on your knees. Stand to your feet hold your head high, and keep going”
Greater involvement of people living with HIV in healthcare

Key implications for PLWHA
•“the realization that we will no longer consider ourselves to be a lifelong threat to others”
•Serodiscordant couple can have children easily
•Remove fear of condom break
•Reduce prosecution of HIV transmission/exposure
•PLHA are not vectors of transmission
•It allows the taboo subject of condomless sex to take centre stage
•“Allowing HIV+ people to regain the right to unhinibited experience of sexual pleasure”
