As per latest reports, it has been revealed that the Apex Court of Canada is going to make some changes in the law which revolves around punishment for HIV positives. The law, which was passed in 1998, states that a HIV positive person would be considered for criminal offense if he poses risk to his partner.

This definition created a lot of confusion among law people as well as among police officials. The definition is said to be unclear as it does not explain the risk conditions under which a person would be held guilty. This utter confusion led to many incidents, in which many people were given punishments. But in medical terms, they were found innocent.

Supreme Court of Canada has decided to end this confusion bubble and would hear case in which the government would speak in the favor to change the law, while defendants would provide reasons for not making any change in the prevailing law.

The government said that since the law has come into practise, more than 100 Canadians have been diagnosed as HIV positive. Hence, it is very important to change the law in which a cause should be added which should state that a HIV positive person needs to tell his partner about the condition irrespective of the degree of the risk.

On the other hand, opponents told that HIV infected person should only tell about their condition if it is risky for the other person and otherwise there is no need for the disclosure. This issue has given birth to a new controversy which seeks to know that whether such political decisions bring decline in the number of HIV positive people or not.

Majorly people would say no and the main issues arises is that all has to work to eradicate HIV from its roots.
