Constitutional court in Columbia strikes down law criminalizing HIV.

Youth Global platform on Hiv/aids joins UNAIDS and other relevant #HIV organizations around the globe to congratulate #Columbia for the recent judgement by their constitutional court striking down the section of the criminal code criminalizing #HIV transmission in Columbia.
This judgement will see adolescents and young people boldly committing themselves more on the fight against this viral menace ravaging young people and adolescents around the globe as criminalization of #HIV does not in any way uphold the principles of non - discrimination or prevention of new #HIV infections.

Hence the rationale for Youth Global platform on Hiv/aids so that young people and adolescents can be empowered to resist stigma or discrimination while understanding their right to universal health care as a rationale to enhance universal youth response to #HIV.
