- Abstract
"NAPWA supports the practice of the overwhelming majority of HIV positive Australians in actively seeking to reduce the risk of HIV transmission, however, we believe that the criminal justice system is an inappropriate mechanism for achieving that aim and should only be used in exceptional circumstances as a mechanism of last resort."
