Séro-criminel
Mon ami Coco, qui est un happy morning freak assumé m’a envoyé au réveil ce lien vers un article de Libération, Quand la contamination devient crime : «Plus de 36 pays en Europe ont modifié leur législation pour criminaliser la transmission du VIH à un partenaire.» Inquiétant et contre-productif pour les associations et l’Onusida.
