HIV Criminalization Map

8 九月 2017

HIV activists keep on reporting about cases of HIV discrimination and stigma. Many actual laws of different states of America mean a prison charge for those HIV-positive ones, who didn’t disclose his HIV-positive status to the new partner. This law is treated as a discrimination act by many HIV activists or HIV positive people, because it is already known that HIV-positive person with undetectable viral load couldn’t transmit HIV to the partners he has sex with. According to the information of the recent studies and researchers on the topic of HIV transmission, when individuals are properly treated, HIV transmissions from sexual encounters can range from 0% to 1.56%
