HIV Criminalization: What You Need To Know

In this workshop, André Capretti from the HIV Legal Network will give folks an overview of the state of the law in Canada when it comes to the criminalization of HIV non-disclosure.

This session will examine how stigma, misinformation, and discrimination continue to have grave consequences for people living with HIV, and in particular, how Canada's current criminal law around HIV disclosure causes harm by being overbroad, unscientific, and disproportionately impacts 2SLGBTQ+, Indigenous, and Black communities.

Join us either virtually and in-person. We ask that in-person attendees wear masks to protect our community members.

Please contact us at 902-403-7169 for more information.
