HIV & HUMAN RIGHTS MITIGATION REPORT 2014
MAC continues to receive complaints pertaining to abusive practices by law enforcement, educational and workplace discrimination, and harassment of outreach workers.
People living with HIV continue to face discrimination in the workplace despite the infection having no correlation with losses in productivity, and despite MAC having a comprehensive HIV Workplace Policy that corporations and private companies can sign on to. PLHIV continue to have a lack of access to essential medicines in police custody, including methadone and antiretrovirals.
This report provides a snapshot into discriminatory cases that were reported to MAC in 2014 that create barriers to HIV prevention, diagnostics and treatment, and provides recommendations to improve the policy environment.
