Abstract:This article contributes to the debate on whether or not the transmission of HIV should be criminalised. In some countries the legal system has recognised the criminal element of wilful transmission of HIV and other communicable diseases either through specific statutory provisions, case law or other sources of law. The article discusses important considerations that should be taken into account in determining whether HIV transmission should be criminalised in Zambia in order to curb the high HIV prevalence in the country.
