Intersecting issues, identities, and barriers in access to health care, HIV services & sexual and reproductive health and rights among key populations in Central and Eastern Europe & Central Asia
This briefing paper explores the impact of intersecting identities—such as LGBT, people who use drugs (PWUD), sex workers (SW), and people living with HIV (PLHIV)—on health access, agency, and social justice in the context of structural inequalities and stigma. Using the framework of intersectionality, it examines how overlapping identities shape lived experiences of discrimination, influencing mental and physical health outcomes and access to healthcare services. The paper is based on cross-regional consultations conducted across 14 countries in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia (CEECA), including surveys and focus group discussions with 103 individuals with multiple intersecting identities.

Women living with HIV in high-income settings and breastfeeding (2020)
A thorough review of policy guidance, science and practice in high income settings from Denmark. It concludes that "suppressive maternal ART significantly reduces, but does not eliminate, the risk of postnatal transmission of HIV through breastfeeding. However, it is important to recognize and acknowledge that some women living with HIV may wish to breastfeed their infant, in which both the healthcare providers and the women need evidence-based information about the risks and benefits to enable an informed decision."
Систематический обзор риска передачи ВИЧ через укус или плевок: последствия для политики
Систематический поиск литературы проводился с использованием баз данных Medline, Embase и Northern Lights, а также сайтов конференций. Результаты показали, что риск передачи ВИЧ через слюну отсутствует, а риск через укус ничтожно мал. Постконтактная профилактика не показана после укуса во всех случаях, кроме исключительных. Политику защиты работников экстренных служб следует разрабатывать с учетом этих данных.

Resolution of the Board of Directors of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers Concerning HIV Criminalization
Opposes laws that base criminal liability and/or penalty on HIV status, rather than intent to harm. Argues that focus on knowledge of status as a key element of an HIV-related crime rather than intent and capacity to transmit the virus, is a classic example of an inadequate mens rea (or criminal intent) requirement and overly expansive criminalization.
