Criminalization of HIV transmission and exposure is an ineffective tool for combating AIDS and a costly distraction from programs that we know work--programs such as effective prevention, protection against discrimination, reducing stigma, empowering women and providing access to testing and treatment. In this article, which is based on a public lecture he gave at "From Evidence and Principle to Policy and Action," the 1st Annual Symposium on HIV, Law and Human Rights, held on 12-13 June 2009 in Toronto, Canada, Justice Edwin Cameron analyzes the surge in criminal prosecutions, discusses the role that stigma plays in these prosecutions and makes the case against criminalization.
将艾滋病毒传播和暴露定为犯罪，并非抗击艾滋病的有效手段，反而代价高昂，还会分散对我们已知有效的项目的注意力，这些项目包括有效预防、防止歧视、减少污名化、增强妇女权能以及提供检测和治疗服务。本文基于埃德温·卡梅伦法官于2009年6月12日至13日在加拿大多伦多举行的“从证据和原则到政策与行动”第一届艾滋病毒、法律与人权年度研讨会上发表的公开演讲。他分析了刑事诉讼激增的情况，讨论了污名化在这些诉讼中所起的作用，并论证了反对将其定罪的理由。
