PLEASE NOTE WORKSHOP TIME CHANGE - 1pm-3:30pm.

 

In Canada, people living with HIV have been

criminally charged, convicted and sent to prison

for not disclosing their HIV status before having

sex. HIV disclosure and criminal law bring together

many complex legal and social issues. People

living with HIV, and people who provide services

to them, want to know:

• In what circumstances do people living

with HIV have a legal duty to disclose their

HIV status before having sex?

• What can happen to them if they fail to

disclose their HIV status even though they

have a duty?
