Endorse Letter Demanding Meaningful Action
by the CDC Against Criminalization of HIV Transmission
Do you know that HIV isn't spread by spitting, and that condoms are an effective HIV prevention tool?
Of course you do.
But this information seems to be outside the knowledge of many in the legal system across this country, where the criminal prosecution of people living with HIV often continues to ignore the facts.
On January 15, 2010, the HIV Prevention Justice Alliance and Project UNSHACKLE sent a letter to the CDC asking them to keep their promises to take action on steps to address the criminalization of HIV transmission.
