Recommendation
... The HIV/AIDS (Prevention and Control) Act of 2008 legislates against discrimination. However the Act contributes to the stigmatization of persons living with HIV through the criminalization of the transmission of the HIV, and encourages persons living with HIV to hide their status, or to refrain from being tested, for fear of the legal ramifications of unintentional transmission. [Para 28]
