Around the world, members of our communities are being monitored, harassed, charged with crimes, and sentenced to jail, because we:

are living with HIV
use drugs
do sex work
have same-sex sexual relations
are trans, queer or gender non-conforming
seek sexual and reproductive health services, want to become pregnant, or breastfeed/chest feed while living with HIV

This is unfair! And it undermines the HIV response!

Criminalising the key population groups that are particularly vulnerable to HIV and frequently lack adequate access to services increases inequalities, fuels stigma and discrimination, exacerbates vulnerabilities to violence, and blocks access to prevention, testing, and treatment.

Together, we are working towards decriminalisation — all over the world.

Governments are realising that to end AIDS, they must protect the human rights of everyone and decriminalise:

HIV non-disclosure, potential or perceived exposure, and unintentional transmission
drug use and possession of drugs for personal use
the profession of sex work
same-sex sexual relations
diverse gender identities and gender expressions
seek sexual and reproductive health services, wanting to become pregnant, and breastfeeding/chestfeeding while living with HIV

Communities are mobilising the support needed to change punitive laws.
