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.
Whether it's drugs or HIV, punishment cannot deliver health and well-being. Instead, criminalisation blights health and life outcomes for affected communities and society as a whole.
On #HINACday , we commit to building futures where #HIVisNotACrime ! ✊ ❤️ 💚 #SupportDontPunish !
HIV disproportionately impacts the LGBTQI+ community and communities of color, and laws which criminalize having HIV only cause these vulnerable people further harm.
It’s time we prioritize education, support, and healthcare access - not punishment. #HIVIsNotACrime
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people can be criminalized due to their #HIV status— today is a reminder to uplift the voices of people affected by outdated HIV criminalization laws.

Vivir con VIH no es un crimen y las leyes que lo penalizan no están basadas en datos científicos actuales.
Revisar estas leyes y nutrirlas con la evidencia científica más reciente es una deuda de los legisladores para acabar con un estigma que nos afecta. #HIVisnotACrime
