Today the leader of the Standing Committee on Health and Care Services, Bent Høie (The Conservative Party), raised the issue of HIV in Parliament.
A lot of good arguments and for the first time I got my own criminal case and person mention from the Speakers Chair in the Norwegian Parliament:

"...Then it is a paradox that the social-liberal Norway still has an HIV-paragraph that is criminalizing HIV-positive people's sexuality. This has now been brought to a head by the public prosecutor who has brought charges against HIV-positive Louis Gay, who has not infected any other person and who conducted what we call "safer sex", which in reality is the health authorities' recommendations. I am aware that Syse-committee is now working on this issue, but it is still necessary to highlight this in this debate, because current criminal law works against prevention strategy and stigmatize HIV-positive people. I hope that today's debate could be the start of that we again have a strong political commitment to reducing new infections of HIV and to improve the lives of those who are HIV-positive - which in reality are two sides of the same coin." (translated by Louis Gay)
I am so impressed. They have the saME DRACONIAN laws here in the states. I aM WANTING TO START A PETITION TO END THESE HIVE CRIMINAL LAWS . THEY NEED TO BE MODIFIED AND APPLIED PROPERLY. IM TERRIFIED OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO ME AS I HAD AN EXPERIENCE A FEW MONTHS BACK AND NOW IM PRAYING THIS PERSON DOES NOT SEEK REVENGE. SO FAR THEY TESTED NEGATIVE AND WILL RETEST IN JUNE AGAIN AND IF THEY ARFE NEGATIVE THEN WE CAN SAY THEY DIDNT CONTRACT ANYTHING. BUT THE QUESTION WAS ALWAYS ABOUT THEM HAVING BEEN WITH SOMEONE ELSE BUT SINCE MY STATUS IS KNOWN THEY TARGETED ME.......IM LOST.
ReplyDeleteIt's a crazy world out there if you are HIV-positive. Fight back! Some day we will change things in to common sense. Will stand next to you and participate in your fight in the States during the International Aids Conference in Washington this year:-)
