Who can use HALC & what is an HIV-Related Legal Matter?

HALC is only funded to provide free legal services to people with HIV-related legal matters. However HALC can refer people living with HIV to other legal service providers who have expertise in other more specialised areas.

A legal matter is HIV-related when it arises out of or is related to your HIV status. This may include being denied a job because of your HIV status or making plans for your medical treatment which may arise in the future because of your HIV status.

Examples of legal matters that are not HIV-related include an HIV positive person being involved in a car accident or an HIV positive person being charged with theft.

Information on some of the matters that HALC can help with can be found here.
