Activists mark World AIDS Day by calling for criminal reform, prevention funding

OTTAWA - Activists marked World AIDS Day on Monday by calling on the federal government to honour a Trudeau government promise to reform the laws on HIV disclosure, and to provide enough funding to get Canada's efforts to end the pandemic back on track.

The HIV Legal Network says Canada's stalled progress on preventing new HIV cases — especially among Indigenous people in the Prairies — is costing governments millions of dollars.
