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. By systematically analyzing global literature, the review uncovers how seemingly neutral laws disproportionately affect people with HIV, reinforcing stigma and barriers to care. The findings offer crucial insights for policymakers, legal professionals, and advocates working to address these systemic injustices.

The overall purpose of this guideline is to improve the HIV-free survival of HIV-exposed infants by providing guidance on appropriate infant feeding practices and use of ARV drugs for mothers living with HIV in countries with high HIV prevalence and settings in which diarrhoea, pneumonia and undernutrition are common causes of infant and child mortality.
The guideline addresses four aspects of infant feeding in the context of HIV:
-
the duration of breastfeeding by mothers living with HIV;
-
interventions to support infant feeding practices by mothers living with HIV;

The guideline informs national policy-makers on what may be relevant for national policies and programmes, it provides guidance to health-care providers, researchers and clinicians involved in managing pregnant women and mothers living with HIV at various levels of health care.
