On 4 December 2013, Professor Matthew Weait (Birkbeck, University of London) delivered a guest lecture at the Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge, as a guest of the Cambridge Socio-Legal Group.
This lecture explores, in comparative perspective but with a focus on English case law, the criminalisation of HIV. It focuses on the ways in which criminalisation provides more general insights into the construction of harm, responsibility and consent, especially with the progress made in treating and controlling HIV infection, and offers a critique of the law in this area.
