Minister wants stronger law to deal with people who wilfully transmit HIV
Apr 18, 2013
ST.GEORGE’S, Grenada, CMC - Health Minister Dr, Clarice Modeste is concerned about people who are wilfully transmitting the HIV virus to others and believes that legislation should be enacted to deal with them once there is evidence that a person is being exposed to the virus as a means of revenge.
"There are those who are saying when they discover their positive status, I am not going down alone," she told the Parliament Wednesday while contributing to the 2013 budget debate.
Grenada recorded its first case of HIV/AIDS in 1984 and latest figures show that there are 485 cases.
