Canada has a history of HIV criminalization, disproportionately harming marginalized communities. "Criminalized Lives" explores the complexities of disclosure and the violence faced by those accused of not disclosing their HIV-positive status. The book features personal stories and portraits from artist Eric Kostiuk Williams, challenging assumptions about HIV and the criminal legal system's legacy of categorizing individuals.

Canada has garnered a reputation as a hub for HIV criminalization, where the act of withholding one's HIV-positive status from sexual partners has historically been treated as a grave criminal offense. Criminalized Lives delves into the profound impact of this approach, particularly on marginalized communities such as the poor, Black and Indigenous people, gay men, and women in Canada. This book presents the narratives of individuals who have faced criminal charges for failing to disclose their HIV-positive status, shedding light on the intricate complexities of disclosure and the violence that stems from criminalization. Accompanied by captivating portraits by artist Eric Kostiuk Williams, the profiles explore whether the criminal legal system is adequately equipped to navigate the nuanced and ethical dilemmas encountered by people living with HIV on a daily basis. Through personal accounts shared by those who have firsthand experiences with criminalization, Alexander McClelland challenges prevailing notions about HIV, the role of punishment, and the violence perpetuated by the legacy of the criminal legal system in categorizing individuals as either victims or perpetrators.
Note: A regrettable error appears on page 22. The number 240 should be 206 when referring to the number of people prosecuted in relation to allegations of HIV nondisclosure. This will be fixed in future reprints.
