Abstract

In November 2004, Human Rights Watch (HRW) released a report documenting widespread violence and discrimination against people living with, and at high risk of, HIV/AIDS in Jamaica. The report alleges police use Jamaica's Victorian-era sodomy laws, which criminalize consensual sex between adult men, as a basis to harass and persecute people suspected of homosexual conduct and peer educators who provide HIV/AIDS information and condoms to them.
