All Pain, No Gain: HIV Criminalization in Pennsylvania, May 2017

All Pain, No Gain: HIV Criminalization in Pennsylvania is a collaborative effort of statewide advocates seeking to reform HIV Criminalization.

HIV Criminalization undercuts important public health initiatives by ignoring actual transmission risk, exacerbating stigma, and devaluing the importance of personal responsibility in HIV prevention. Criminalization makes it more difficult for those who have been diagnosed with HIV to disclose their HIV status to partners or to access and stay in care. In short, it’s all pain and no gain.
