GNP+ The Global Network of People living with HIV
Violation of human rights and breaches of medical confidentiality by the Greek Police and Health Authorities
Tuesday, 15 May 2012
Joint news release GNP+ and NSWP
As part of a Government authorised crackdown on hundreds of unlicensed brothels around Greece, sex workers are being arrested, submitted to forced HIV testing and facing criminal charges without recourse to due process, as well as being publically identified in the media.
As a result of these actions women are to face prosecution on charges of intentionally causing grievous bodily harm merely because they are HIV positive. There is no proof of exposure or transmission to others nor is it clear that any of these women knew their HIV status prior to this test. They are facing further charges for misdemeanours related to alleged illegal prostitution.

Shape the HIV response: E-survey LIVING 2012 – The Positive Leadership Summit
GNP+ and the LIVING 2012 partnership have launched an electronic survey for people living with HIV to provide input into LIVING 2012: The Positive Leadership Summit. All people living with HIV worldwide are invited to provide input into the survey and help to shape the HIV response.
LIVING 2012 is a global consultative process that will result in a redefinition of the Global Advocacy Agenda for people living with HIV. During pre-consultations in Amsterdam, Nassau and Addis Abeba three broad themes were selected: Access to Treatment, Prevention, Care and Support; Human Rights; and Community Mobilisation and Activism.
The e-survey aims to high light advocacy priorities from these three themes to feed into further online discussions and the development of briefing papers to inform the LIVING Summit in Washington this summer.
