The Health Impacts of Law for People Living with HIV: A Systematic Review of Literature
This review explores the complex relationship between law and health for people living with HIV, highlighting how legal frameworks impact access to care, prevention, and overall well-being. It examines key legal challenges—including criminalization, migration restrictions, privacy, and housing laws—demonstrating how these issues intersect and amplify health-related harms.

The findings offer crucial insights for policymakers, legal professionals, and advocates working to address these systemic injustices.
