Gay and Lesbian Legal Issues and HIV/AIDS: Final Report was produced by the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network and the Canadian AIDS Society in 1998, as part of the Joint Project on Legal and Ethical Issues Raised by HIV/AIDS.
The Final Report:
• reviews how, historically, gay men and lesbians have suffered persistent patterns of discrimination and persecution, and how the advent of HIV and AIDS has intensified and extended discrimination against them;
• provides a detailed analysis of how, in 1998, Canadian law treats gay men and lesbians, as well as some examples of discrimination in two other areas, behavioural research and health and social services; and
• assesses the impact of stigma and discrimination in the context of HIV/AIDS.
