Anti-discrimination laws are weaker in Northern Ireland than in the rest of the UK and fail to protect people with and at risk of acquiring HIV.

The restoration of the Executive and Assembly offers an opportunity to make the right decisions and legislate to strengthen Northern Ireland’s equality laws.

This briefing paper details the need for people in Northern Ireland to have the same rights and protections as everyone else in the UK and how this relates to people living with, or at risk of acquiring HIV.
