HIV is Not a Crime Day Resolution

This House resolution supports designating February 28 as "HIV is Not a Crime Awareness Day." It states that people living with HIV should not be criminalized or given enhanced punishments only because of their HIV status. It supports removing HIV laws it describes as scientifically inaccurate and encourages governments, schools, and media to recognize the day. It also supports HIV education for communities and law enforcement, including PrEP information in sex education, and increased funding for HIV support programs. The resolution does not change any law.
