Make disclosing someone else’s HIV status illegal

Closed 57 signatures

What the petition asks

We think the Government should protect people who disclose their HIV status to Sexual Partners or peers. When a HIV+ person discloses they’re unprotected from gossip. We think it should be illegal to disclose someone else’s HIV status.
We think protecting people's status could help increase awareness and reduce stigma therefore helping the fight against HIV.
