“34 U.S. states have laws criminalizing HIV. Many of which were written over 20 years ago and were created because of fear and lack of understanding. HIV is not what it was in 1993. It’s time for state and federal laws to reflect the medical advances, discoveries, & current state of HIV. Share this with your friends and encourage them to support the Repeal HIV Discrimination Act!”
My uncle was fired from his job when he decided to be honest with his employers about his HIV status in the early 90s....
I find that so bizarre. How do you criminalize a disease? Suffering from HIV isn’t a choice that people make.
