#HIV ISNOTACRIME !

We oppose the criminalisation of reckless transmission of #HIV , and we're researching how current laws make people living with HIV feel. If you would like to share your thoughts, feelings and experiences, our DM are open and we'd love to speak to you.

On Monday, join CHLP, Trans Equity Consulting and nychealthy for a virtual training on HIV criminalization for criminal justice stakeholders in NY. What's the impact on public health / human rights and how does law and science intersect? More info: hivlawandpolicy.org/events/hiv-not…

We should discuss how Black bodies are being policed so that we can have a deeper conversation about HIV Criminalization.

HIV Criminalization laws undermine public health efforts by deterring people from #HIV testing/treatment, stigmatizing those with HIV, & communities most impacted— incl POC, women, LGBTQ people, sex workers & the formerly incarcerated. #HINACDay #HIV IsNotACrime #HealthNotPrisons

Today is #HIV IsNotACrime Awareness Day.

In more than 30 U.S. states, people can be criminalized due to their #HIV status— today is a reminder to uplift the voices of people affected by outdated HIV criminalization laws.

Living with HIV is not a crime, but in more than 30 U.S. states, people are being imprisoned due to their HIV status. HIV criminalization laws use a person’s HIV status in a criminal prosecution, increasing charges or punishments because the person has HIV. #HIVIsNotACrime

Today is #HIVIsNotACrime Awareness Day. HIV criminalization does not make anyone safer, but reinforces stigma and undermines public health goals.

Currently, PA remains as one of nine states still subjecting people living with HIV to felony penalties if charged with prostitution.

HIV disproportionately impacts the LGBTQI+ community and communities of color, and so do laws that criminalize having HIV. As a Member of the Congressional Equality Caucus, I believe that we must strongly state that #HIVIsNotACrime , and it’s time our laws reflect that.

Criminalizing laws against #HIV are born out of ignorance & unfounded fear.
They're stigmatizing & outdated.
Now, we know better because HIV can be treated to #UequalsU .
It's these laws that are the risk because people living with HIV are no social or sexual risk.
#HIV IsNotACrime

Today, on #HIVIsNotACrime Awareness Day, let's combat stigma and outdated laws affecting marginalized communities. Let's urge lawmakers to repeal these laws and shift from criminalization to compassion. Let's raise our voice for justice and dignity. 🌈✊🏾 #EndHIVStigma

#HINACDay 28 FEB - HIV criminalisation is a global phenomenon that undermines both human rights and public health, weakening the #HIV response.

Laws must follow science.

Suggesting criminal charges as the primary or appropriate response to any perceived or potential #HIV exposure or allegations of non-intentional transmission is simply inappropriate.
