Government is set to repeal a legal provision that criminalises transmission of HIV/AIDS to a partner in order to keep abreast with international standards, Parliament heard yesterday.
Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi said the new amendments would be incorporated in the Marriages Amendment Bill which is at drafting stage.
He said this in the National Assembly during a question-and- answer session yesterday after Zengeza West legislator Mr Job Sikhala (MDC-Alliance) had asked if Government was considering amending the law which criminalise transmission of HIV/AIDS.
