The United States has prosecuted more people living with HIV for sexual and non-sexual exposure or transmission than any other country in the world. A total of 39 states have prosecuted at least 442 HIV-positive individuals (likely to be an underestimation, see below) for criminal HIV exposure or transmission, but only 24 states have HIV-specific criminal laws. (Details of each state’s laws can be found on Lambda Legal’s website at www.lambdalegal.org. See State Criminal Statutes on HIV Exposure.)
