The 2024 report by the Action Network for Justice for People Affected by HIV/AIDS (Action Network) documents legal cases in the region where individuals are penalized for conduct linked to their HIV status, even in the absence of evidence of transmission or intent to cause harm.

HIV Criminalisation in the EU – A comparative 20 country report
In 2020, AAE published a comparative 10-country report on HIV criminalisation, which provided a basis for future advocacy activities on the issue. The current report builds upon the 2020 report, while adding the data from new 10 EU Member states. The report includes information on the impact of legislation introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as trends, developments, and expected changes regarding the criminalisation of HIV.
