How does the law protect and support people who are HIV+?
Unfortunately there is still much that needs to be done in terms of creating a supportive legal framework for people living with HIV/AIDS in the Pacific. Most Pacific Island countries do not have specific human rights legislation or any specific organization that is in charge of monitoring and advocating against discriminatory behaviour. With the exception of Papua New Guinea, most, if not all, Pacific Island countries do not have comprehensive HIV/AIDS management legislation.
