From HIVaction.org via Paul Clift & Lisa Power. 

During the AIDS2010 Vienna conference a meeting was held about Criminalisation of HIV Exposure and Transmission. Though a global meeting Lisa Power of THT presented on the situation in the UK. With a further presentation from Edwin J Bernard. Click here for the videos of the meeting.

"Criminalisation of HIV Exposure and Transmission: Global Extent, Impact and The Way Forward, co-organised by the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network, the Global Network of People Living with HIV (GNP+) and NAM (aidsmap.com) was held in Vienna on July 18th 2010.

This meeting prior to the XVIII International AIDS Conference (AIDS2010) by and for advocates against the criminalisation of HIV nondisclosure, exposure and non-intentional transmission was held to:
• Understand where and how laws and prosecutions are happening;
• Hear how different solutions to complex issues are being found in the international arena, in national policy, and in case law judgments; and
• Explore pragmatic advocacy strategies in order to move towards the goal of decriminalisation."

As well as hivaction.org you may also find the Law and HIV/AIDS website (click here) useful.

Mentioned in Lisa's presentation.
