#AIDS2022 Prosecutions & laws re donating blood. 20 prosecutions since 1987, most unaware of status at time of donation & informed at arrest! Half of the cases were in Singapore & most recently 2021. No justification for HIV-specific criminal laws!

This issue does not get enough attention in the HIV mov't. Women have been imprisoned for brief instances of breastfeeding! Women have had their children taken away for breastfeeding! #HIVCrim #HIVjustice
Quote Tweet
Punitive approaches to breastfeeding are not aligned with a public health approach or with best available science, they are not in the best interests of the child and can result in children being taken from loving parents. @ICW_Global @ICWNorthAmerica @NyaChingore @_ARASAcomms
