El enjuiciamiento de casos penales relacionados con el VIH en Canadá
El presente documento tiene por objeto ayudar a las autoridades fiscales a elaborar dichas orientaciones para evitar el uso perjudicial del derecho penal en relación con el VIH y garantizar el uso prudente de los escasos recursos de la fiscalía. Aunque otras infecciones de transmisión sexual pueden suscitar preocupaciones similares a las del VIH, han sido abrumadoramente los casos relacionados con el VIH los que han atraído el procesamiento y los comentarios judiciales. Por ello, el presente documento se centra en los juicios relacionados con el VIH.
