Criminalización del VIH

HIV Is Not a Crime

Despite advances in treatment and prevention, outdated laws in Ohio still criminalize people living with HIV. These laws—based on fear rather than science—can lead to harsher penalties, stigma and discrimination for people simply because of their HIV status.

Changing these laws is essential to building a safer, more just and more informed community. Understanding how HIV criminalization works and who it impacts is the first step toward ending it.

Join us on December 6 at Caracole to explore how HIV criminalization continues to harm people in Ohio—and what’s being done to change it.

A greeting card with colorful blurred lights and the words “Merry and Bright” sits on a patterned brown surface beside a white envelope. A banner reads, “Make a card, make a difference in someone’s life—raise awareness of HIV legal issues!”.

Hands On Activity

After the Lunch & Learn, help us create handmade holiday cards as part of the Sero Project’s national campaign. All card-making supplies will be provided.

Sero centers people living with HIV in efforts to end HIV criminalization, mass incarceration, and social injustice. Their Holiday Card Project sends handmade cards to people living with HIV who are incarcerated, reminding them they are not forgotten and offering connection, care, and encouragement during the season.
