[Viva] Criminalization of HIV

[Denise Becker]

Yes, Kath, here is a recent article from the host Positive Lite and it is
an interview of Dr. Mark Tyndale regarding the recent Steven Boone trial.
 The interview talks about a lack of response or advocacy from the HIV
population and community.  It is a touchy issue and many people are going
underground on this one.  I think it is a time when women need their voices
heard, no matter what they want to say.. for or against because discussion
will bring about the best solution.
