Stories. Science. Solutions.
HIV criminalization isn’t just a criminal issue. It’s an issue of freedom, family, privacy, housing, community health, and racial justice. So why is HIV still criminalized in over 30 U.S. states to this day?
The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation continues its fight to decriminalize HIV across the U.S. with a fresh perspective on why this issue goes far beyond legal implications. When HIV is criminalized, people living with HIV struggle to live a free and just life, stay healthy and undetectable, find employment or housing - and those who are Black, LGBTQIA+ or women suffer most.

HIV is not a crime, but in more than 30 states, people are being criminalized due to their HIV status.
Thanks to scientific advancements, HIV is no longer a death sentence and, with the right medications, the risk of transmitting the virus from one person to another sexually is zero.
“A person [living] with HIV who takes HIV medicine as prescribed and gets and stays virally suppressed or undetectable can stay healthy and will not transmit HIV to their sex partners.” (CDC.gov)
Despite this medical progress, people living with HIV are being charged and branded as criminals because of their status.
