Australia: Court recognizes that HIV-positive people face special challenges in prison
Abstract:
An Australian appellate court granted bail to a man charged with two separate counts of endangering life for allegedly having unprotected sex with two partners without disclosing that he was HIV positive. The man, who has pleaded not guilty to both charges, is accused of having committed the second offence while he was released on bail awaiting trial for the first. In deciding to release him, the Court considered, among other things, the unique difficulties that people living with HIV/AIDS face in prisons.
