This resolution expresses support for "HIV is Not a Crime Awareness Day" on February 28, an observance dedicated to raising awareness about the criminalization of people living with HIV. It highlights that HIV criminalization involves antiquated laws that either criminalize otherwise legal conduct or increase penalties based on a person's HIV-positive status, often without proof of intent or risk of transmission. The resolution notes that such laws lack evidence of preventing HIV transmission or promoting disclosure, and disproportionately impact Black, brown, and transgender communities. The House of Representatives resolves to affirm that people living with HIV should not be criminalized or subject to enhanced punishments solely due to their status. It supports the removal of scientifically inaccurate HIV laws and encourages comprehensive education on prevention, treatment, and care, including medically accurate information about HIV and PrEP. Furthermore, the resolution calls for increased funding for programs supporting people living with HIV and those impacted by criminalization, while promoting public dialogue and evidence-based approaches to reduce stigma and advance public health and equity.
