HIV is not a crime Listen to this episode from HIV unmuted on Spotify. In 1987, the United States introduced the world’s first laws criminalizing HIV. Today, despite scientific evidence that HIV criminalization harms public health, 92 countries still have laws that are used to prosecute people living with HIV. In this episode of HIV unmuted, the IAS podcast, we hear how these unjust laws have forever changed the lives of three people living with HIV and what must be done to end the criminalization of HIV. Listen now to their stories of injustice, fear and stigma:•             Justice Edwin Cameron on being South Africa’s first public figure to speak out about living with HIV and his crusade to decriminalize HIV•             A Malawian mother, known as EL, who was jailed for allegedly breastfeeding another woman's baby, as told by her lawyer, Wesley Mwafulirwa•             American Robert Suttle on how a bad breakup led to his imprisonment and lifelong registration as a sex offender.

🎙️ #HIVisNotaCrime. On #HINACDay, join the call for justice.

In this #HIVunmuted episode, leading voices explore the real-world impact of HIV criminalisation – and why evidence-based, rights-affirming approaches are critical.
