2 Aims of the Project

The aims of the project were to conduct a survey of the 45 signatory countries to the European Convention on Human Rights in order to map:

  • The types of criminal or state laws used in prosecuting persons for the transmission of HIV
  • The rate of prosecutions/convictions
  • The numbers and identity of those against whom the laws were used in the context of the relevant national epidemiology of HIV
  • Local organisations working on these issues
  • How best information on these issues could be obtained
