Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Faced with the enduring injustice of HIV transmission through sexual violence, African women's groups are increasingly supporting legislative proposals to criminalize deliberate transmission of HIV. In this article, Delme Cupido describes efforts to forge a consensus between these groups and human rights activists concerned about the adverse consequences of HIV-specific criminal laws. |
