Is the decision by the constitutional court of Uganda in UGANET & 2 others v. Attorney General in tandem with global decisions on criminalization of HIV/AIDS transmission?
On 8th November 2022 the Constitutional Court of Uganda handed down a decision that has been perceived as contrary to addressing inequalities and helping to end AIDS, as the provisions of the HIV and AIDS Prevention and Control Act, 2015 that were being challenged in the petition, perceived as discriminatory, criminalising HIV/AIDS transmission, among others, were maintained by the Court as being constitutional. ULS LEGAL INSIGHT analyses this petition and its implications on the global approaches to fight against criminalisation of HIV/AIDS transmission.
