Mandatory testing does not prevent HIV. Instead, it…
*Drives people underground
*Violates human rights & informed consent
*Fuels stigma & discrimination
*Punishes people for their HIV status
*Ignores science
#HIVJustice #EndHIVStigma #HumanRights #hivjusticeworldwide
These unjust laws don’t protect public health – they punish, isolate, and silence.
We won’t end HIV without ending stigma.
We won’t end stigma without ending HIV criminalisation.

Solange Baptiste at #IAS2025 calls out the chronic underfunding of community systems and advocacy—they’re not optional, they’re essential infrastructure.

These laws amplify stigma, reinforce systemic inequality, and criminalise survival.
Justice should never reinforce discrimination.

It’s time to move beyond outdated laws. Health, human rights, and harm reduction must guide policy – not fear or moral judgment.
Criminalisation is not effective. Support is.
