This brief handout provides a succinct guide to using the human rights framework in U.S. advocacy for HIV-positive women's reproductive rights. It describes different sources of international human rights law, their place in U.S. law, and how litigators can use them in U.S. courts. The handout also briefly outlines examples of human rights protections that apply to the reproductive decisions of women living with HIV.
