本文提出了一个分析的反应，在英格兰和威尔士的艾滋病毒感染者的样本内的第一个刑事定罪的艾滋病毒传播。这些调查结果对制定知情的起诉政策作出了重要贡献。这些答复是在20个重点小组讨论与社区和网络招募样本的异性恋非洲男子和妇女，同性恋和双性恋男子（n = 125）生活在伦敦，曼彻斯特和Brighton.The绝大多数（90%）的意见是刑事定罪的实施和影响的关键。特别是，答复者对刑事定罪与“更安全的性行为”的共同责任的信息相冲突的方式，以及这种案件将在多大程度上加剧与艾滋病毒有关的现有耻辱和歧视表示关切。
This paper presents an analysis of responses to the first criminal convictions for HIV transmission in England and Wales within a sample of people living with HIV. These findings represent an important contribution to the development of well-informed prosecution policy. The responses were collected during 20 focused group discussions with a community and web-recruited sample of heterosexual African men and women, and gay and bisexual men (n = 125) living with diagnosed HIV in London, Manchester and Brighton.The vast majority (90%) of comments made were critical of the implementation and impact of criminalization. In particular, respondents expressed concern about the way in which criminal convictions conflict with messages about shared responsibility for 'safer sex', and the extent to which such cases will exacerbate existing stigma and discrimination related to HIV Most felt that the successes achieved by human rights approaches to HIV prevention, treatment, and care were placed under threat by the growing culture of blame encouraged by criminal prosecutions.
