HIV-Sweden's Conference on HIV and Criminal Law

HIV-Sweden’s involvement in the criminalisation of HIV-transmission and exposure has been strong for many years. We have followed several cases that have come to our knowledge. Our commitment is founded in how disproportionate we think the sentences and damages are in relation to the injury. We held a conference on the topic “HIV-men – Crime and Punishment” in 2003. Now we feel that it is high time to raise the issue again through a conference.
