It is good to be aware of how elements of UK law may affect you if you are living with HIV.
Please note that the issue of HIV and the law is constantly changing as organisations campaign to improve the rights of people living with HIV, and details on this page are subject to change.

Quick facts
It is against the law to discriminate against someone on the basis of their HIV status. In 2005 the Disability Discrimination Act named HIV positive people on a list of those protected from discrimination. This covers schools, healthcare establishments and employment.
UK law doesn’t currently recognise HIV-related hate crime. The 2003 Criminal Justice Act does provide protection from hate crime for people with disabilities but HIV is not stated as a disability in the Act; instead disability is defined as “physical or mental impairment”, so people living with HIV are not all covered.
The Offences against the Person Act 1861 means that you can be prosecuted for reckless or deliberate transmission of HIV if it is proved that you exposed an HIV negative person to HIV, knowing that they could become infected.
