The HIV Justice Network has launched new global guidance on HIV decriminalization at the AIDS 2026 conference. This framework integrates decades of human rights standards, scientific research, and advocacy to support legal reform.
Why it matters
It provides a standardized, evidence-based approach for global advocates to challenge laws that criminalize HIV status, which is critical for reducing stigma and improving public health outcomes.
The HIV Justice Network, on behalf of HIV JUSTICE WORLDWIDE and the Global Partnership for Action to Eliminate All Forms of HIV-related Stigma and Discrimination, launched the Guidance on Good Practices in HIV Decriminalisation during a packed Global Village session at AIDS 2026.
