Constella Group: HIV Infection

Volume 475: debated on Monday 28 April 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what assessment he has made of Constella’s compliance with the UN Aids guidelines on criminalisation, disclosure and testing in relation to HIV. (199695)

The UK Government have made no formal assessment as to whether Constella Futures Group complies with UNAIDS guidelines on criminalisation, disclosure and testing in relation to HIV. We understand that the issue of compliance has arisen with regard to legislation in a number of west African countries, which DFID has not financed. We are in discussion with UNAIDS about actions they can take to promote compliance with the guidelines.
