Advancing HIV Justice 4: Understanding Commonalities, Seizing Opportunities is published by the HIV Justice Network on behalf of HIV JUSTICE WORLDWIDE.
It provides a progress report of achievements and challenges in global advocacy against HIV criminalisation. All of the case analyses and the vast majority of the legal and policy analysis in this report cover a 36-month period — 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2021, which begins where the third Advancing HIV Justice report left off. However, significant law reform developments that took place in the first quarter of 2022 are also included in our maps and analysis.
The report is available to download in English, French, Russian and Spanish.

Advancing HIV Justice 4 was conceived and edited by the HJN’s executive director, Edwin J Bernard, and HJN’s senior policy analyst, Alison Symington. Alison Symington researched and wrote all chapters except for ‘Global Overview’, which was researched and written by Edwin J Bernard, using data collected by Sylvie Beaumont and analysed by Tenesha Myrie.

We would especially like to acknowledge the courage and commitment of the growing number of people living with HIV and allies around the world who are challenging laws, policies and practices that inappropriately regulate and punish people living with HIV. Without them, this report — and the victories reported herein — would not have been possible.
We gratefully acknowledge the financial contribution of the Robert Carr Fund to this report.
