Welcome to aidslegal.com

The legal framework in South Africa, especially as it relates to HIV and AIDS can sometimes be difficult to understand for the layperson. Aidslegal.com aims to simply HIV/AIDS and the law to inform and empower you about your rights.

This website serves to answer two fundamental questions:

• What does the law say about the rights of people infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS?

• How can we use the law to fight discrimination, prejudice, unfair dismissal and injustice to people with HIV?

If you need either of these questions answered, then you’ve come to the right place.The AIDS Legal Network, an NGO working in the field of HIV/AIDS and the law in South Africa for some years, are well-versed to deal with issues pertaining to AIDS and human rights.
