UNIT 5: What Are Your Rights?

Activity – ORDER IN THE COURT

Learners will be presented with two HIV-related court cases, one real and one fictional, and use online resources to determine the correct ruling based on laws that protect the human rights of people living with HIV.

The two cases can be found on the next page, and the resources are linked here below:

• https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/policies/law/index.html

• https://www.hiv.gov/hiv-basics/living-well-with-hiv/your-legal-rights/civil-rights

Reflection:

How did you find the search process? How accessible would you say all this information is, and if not, what can be done to make it better?

Why is it important for people to know the laws that protect them?
