This report includes the findings and recommendations of the HIV legal environment assessment in the Republic of Moldova, conducted by a multidisciplinary team of experts, contracted by UNDP Moldova. The research was conducted in cooperation with UNAIDS, UNODC Moldova, civil society organizations and other stakeholders.

The team of experts has found that, despite the significant progress made during the recent years in the improvement of the HIV-related legal framework, still practical, standardized, evidence-based guidelines are necessary to enable the efficient transformation of the legal environment, so that the legislation and practice would support the implementation of the national HIV response, which aims to protect public health, promote human rights and ensure a full enjoyment of life by people living with HIV (PLHIV).
