Survey:

Help us challenge HIV Criminalisation in New Zealand

Many countries including New Zealand, have laws that support the criminalisation of a person living with HIV for not telling their sexual partners they have HIV, the transmission of HIV, or the potential of HIV transmission through sex (exposure).

We want to know how these types of laws and attitudes affect people living with HIV in New Zealand. We want to hear how these laws affect your lives, health and wellbeing. Your experiences and opinions are important and will help guide advocacy, education, and support for our community.

This anonymous survey is only for people living with HIV in New Zealand and will take about 10–15 minutes to complete.
