For decades, exceptional political attention and funding helped drive major advances in HIV science, treatment and activism. Yet HIV criminalisation persists.

Ending HIV criminalisation requires more than changing laws. It requires action at every level. The newly launched Guidance on Good Practices in HIV Decriminalisation provides adaptable recommendations, legal frameworks, and advocacy strategies for civil society, governments, and justice systems.

While the World Health Organization concluded as far back as 1987 that HIV travel restrictions lack public health justification, 16 countries still enforce severe restrictions in 2026.

There is a misconception that these laws only target malicious acts. In reality, laws are often exceedingly broad, making people living with HIV vulnerable to human rights violations based on perceived risks that may not even exist. www.hivjustice.net

Did you know that in some health systems, centralised HIV registration and mandatory 'legal warnings' are used to initiate criminal investigations without a complainant's involvement? #HIVJustice #criminalisation #HIV

Despite the challenges, we are seeing progress. In the past year, we have seen "danger of contagion" laws repealed in five Mexican states and the removal of mandatory sex offender registration in Tennessee. In Zimbabwe, sustained community advocacy led to the repeal of HIV-specific criminal law.

HIV Justice Network @hivjustice.net · 17/08/2026

Around 50 jurisdictions worldwide still maintain HIV-related migration barriers, and progress to eliminate them has stalled. Presented at #AIDS2026, our new research poster examines how travel restrictions have evolved. Read our full poster here: www.hivjustice.net/wp-content/u...

Efforts to end HIV criminalisation usually focus on changing laws, but how do cases actually reach the courts? Our latest research poster presented at AIDS 2026 explores how routine healthcare interactions can inadvertently lead to criminal prosecution. www.hivjustice.net/news/new-res...

HIV Justice Network @hivjustice.net · 11/08/2026

Is the rise in HIV criminalisation part of a broader global anti-rights resurgence? Our research suggests that punitive HIV laws thrive where civic space is shrinking and scientific expertise is under attack. Dive into the global data from the HIV Justice Network www.hivjustice.net/news/new-dat...

Together, they discourage HIV testing, reduce engagement with care, undermine treatment adherence and increase barriers to prevention. The result is simple: Less health. More fear. More HIV.

100

HIV Justice Network @hivjustice.net · 20/07/2026

Stigma and HIV criminalisation reinforce one another. Stigma makes punitive laws politically acceptable. Criminalisation then embeds stigma in law, legitimising fear, blame and discrimination.

100

HIV Justice Network @hivjustice.net · 20/07/2026

HIV criminalisation is rooted in structural stigma. It shifts the response to HIV away from health, support and prevention, and towards blame, punishment and the search for someone to hold responsible.

On this #SupportDontPunish Global Day of Action, we stand with people who use drugs and call for an end to criminalisation. Punitive drug laws don’t protect – they punish. They fuel stigma, worsen health, and compound existing harms – especially when intersecting with #HIV criminalisation.
