Statement on the prosecution of Sarah Porter for reckless transmission of HIV

opens new browser window: HIV

“This case is a tragedy for those involved and re-emphasises the importance of safer sex.  Most people with HIV try hard not to pass the virus on.  However, a third of people living with HIV don’t know they have it, which is why everyone should take responsibility for their own sexual health .  Condoms are still the best form of protection.”   Lisa Power, Head of Policy for Terrence Higgins Trust.
