The decriminalization of drug use and possession for personal use, when implemented effectively, is a critical element in a human rights and public health-based HIV response. The group of countries that have adopted decriminalization models spans all continents.
UNAIDS released a document bringing together different approaches to and experiences of decriminalization of drug use and possession for personal use, and providing recommendations for countries to ensure an enabling environment for the HIV response.
