It's Time to End the Criminalization of HIV
July 9, 2013 - Every day in support groups and therapists' offices and on their own, people diagnosed with HIV ponder disclosing their status to others. Despite decades of awareness-raising, stigma--experienced and internalized--makes it difficult for many people to reveal their HIV-positive status. Most are keenly aware of their responsibility to avoid transmitting the virus, including adhering to laws that govern nondisclosure, especially to sex partners. These responsibilities, however, should not cost people due protection from discrimination or cause the criminal code to be applied to them unfairly, as is currently taking place.

Chink in the armour
July 7, 2013 - Recent US cases have shown that HIV can go into remission, but how far are we from finding a cure?
The news last week that two HIV-infected men in Boston were able to stop their anti-HIV drugs without evidence of the virus returning has, not surprisingly, made headlines around the world. Coming so soon after the equally heavily publicised cases this year of the ''functionally'' cured ''Mississippi baby'' and the 14 adults living with HIV in France who are all doing well nine years after being taken off anti-retrovirals, it is understandably generating a public perception that perhaps we are inching closer to a cure for HIV.

Starting treatment at a CD4 count above 500 reduces the HIV reservoir for people with long-term infection
03 July 2013 - People who start treatment earlier may have better chance of future control of HIV without medication, say French researchers
People with HIV who start treatment with CD4 counts above 500, after the first phase of primary infection is over, are much more likely to experience substantial reductions in the reservoir of HIV-infected cells in their bodies, making them strong candidates for future research studies that seek to control HIV without medication, French researchers reported today at the 7th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention (IAS 2013) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

HIV Criminalization Discourages HIV Testing, Disclosure and Treatment for Transgender and Third Sex Individuals
Oakland, CA, July 1, 2013 - People living with HIV (PLHIV) who identify as transgender or third sex are more likely than any other group to feel that it is reasonable to avoid HIV testing (58%), disclosure of one's HIV positive status to sex partners (61%) or accessing HIV treatment (48%) because of fear of HIV criminalization and distrust of the U.S. criminal justice system.
