For all too many people living with HIV in the U.S., the prospect of facing incarceration because of their status is not an abstraction: It is a real and present danger. And in many states, it has nothing to do with science. This month, Juan Michael Porter II speaks with Joseph Cherabie, M.D., M.Sc., about why it's so important for clinicians to educate themselves about HIV criminalization laws in their state -- and then work to support and empower their patients while pushing to get these laws removed.     Read the transcript, which includes valuable links to related resources: https://www.thebodypro.com/article/future-hiv-care-criminalization     Credits: Our executive producer is Myles Helfand; our project manager is Alina Mogollon-Volk; our audio producers/engineers are Alex Portaluppi and Lucy Mueller; and our series editors are Maria Elena Perez and Juan Michael Porter II.

Illinois is now the second state to completely reverse its HIV criminalization law. Gov. JB Pritzker repealed the 32-year-old statute Tuesday, when he signed three other bills into law that aim to advance the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. Reset discusses what this move means for the state and those impacted by HIV criminalization.

Throughout the 1980s-90s, states across the United States implemented some form of HIV criminal penalties. Although these laws were drafted under the guise of health and safety, they've achieved neither. In this episode, Brad Sears from the Williams Institute joins me to discuss the effects of HIV criminalization.

On this episode of #DatinginNYCPod, I talk to content creator Eric Jamahl and HIV criminalization advocate Robert Suttle about loving while living with HIV, the many stigmas they face within their own communities, how HIV impacts us in more ways than one and much more.

My name is Sanjay Johnson and I currently live in Little Rock, Arkansas. I am a 25-year-old Black Gay man that works two jobs, seeks to use my creative outlets in the arts, and contribute to my community as I can. Unfortunately, in August 2017, my life was interrupted by the biggest challenge and ongoing nightmare that I couldn’t have imagined nor would wish upon anyone else. As a single young man, I chose to explore the world of meeting other like-minded individuals in an online format which resulted in myself meeting an individual for a consensual encounter. One day I was confronted at my front door by police with a complaint citing myself as “knowing and willfully exposing another to HIV.” I was immediately arrested and spent over a week in jail hoping that someone cared enough and would come to my rescue. Ultimately I must now prepare for a trial where an Arkansas jury will decide my fate based on their understanding or lack of knowledge about HIV or how far we’ve advanced in this health dilemma.  Please consider donating to Snajays Defense Fund

Pozitively Dee Discussion Saturday, February 18th 4:30 pm MST, 3:30 pm PST, 5:30 pm CT, and 6:30 pm EST. Call 515-605-9375 to join the talk or listen online at www.blogtalkusa.com. We will discuss something I feel needs to always be discussed and that's HIV criminalization something that is very controversial today. There are some that agree that a person deserves to be put in prison for not disclosing their HIV status and some that don't agree. If a person doesn't disclose and is criminalized, put behind bars 5, 10, 15 20 or 30 years will that stop the transmission of HIV? Everyone has their own opinion on this matter and it touches us in so many different ways. My featured guest will be Robert Suttle a man who is the assistant director of the Sero Project (HIV Is Not A Crime) and someone himself who was charged with HIV criminalization by his partner. Those who are diagnosed with HIV are criminalized the day they get their diagnosis. Join the call listen in or give your opinion it will be great ti hear what you have to say.    

Robert Suttle was convicted under Louisiana’s HIV-specific criminal statute after accepting a plea bargain and served six months in a Louisiana prison for HIV non-disclosure to a former partner, with whom he had a contentious relationship. Upon his release in January 2011, he has become engaged in anti-criminalization advocacy work. Today he is now assistant director of The SERO Project, a network of people living with HIV and allies fighting for freedom from stigma and injustice. He oversees the community outreach and education and coordinates Sero’s HIV Criminalization Survivors Network.  Prior to joining, SERO in March 2012, Suttle was a case manager and prevention specialist at the Philadelphia Center, a local AIDS service organization in Shreveport, Louisiana, working with other positive young African American men who have sex with men. Robert is also featured in the documentary film HIV is Not A Crime, has traveled abroad to Geneva, Switzerland to speak at the UNAIDS Programme Coordinating Board’s meeting in December, 2011, and Oslo, Norway for UNAIDS High Level Consultation on HIV criminalization in February, 2012, sharing his story.

SUNDAYS SHOW POZITIVELY DEE HIV/AIDS DISCUSSION 7:30PM PACIFIC TIME.. Answer this question.. Why should HIV CRIMINALIZATION matter to you? There are individuals having sex now using a condom and they don't know if the person their having sex with is HIV positive. So why is it that when a person who is HIV positive has sex with a condom goes to jail? Not only goes to jail, but gets 20 to 30 years and they used protection. The HIV criminalization laws were put into place in the 80's because there was fear of spreading the virus. Today people living with HIV are living just as long as anyone else, living their lives undetectable and the virus is not spread. Women are having babies now that are not born with the virus. This law has to change and something has to be done

Just like that, the highest military court in the U.S. has effectively ended 25 years of risking an "aggravated assault" or similar charge for not informing a sexual partner that you’re "HIV positive."

On Sunday Januaryy 29th at 9pm EST Robert Breining and Scott Kramer will be speaking with Filmmaker & Activist Sean Strub  is a leading voice for the people with HIV self-empowerment movement and is the founder of POZ Magazine. Sean is the senior advisor to the Center for HIV Law & Policy's Positive Justice Project (combating HIV criminalization) and serves on the board of directors of the North American regional affiliate of the Global Network of People Living With HIV/AIDS.   People with HIV who have been subjected to criminalization prosecutions have only rarely been heard from and are typically portrayed in the media as, at best, reckless and, at worst, monstrous. Most hold jobs, raise children, go to church, and are otherwise unremarkably different from others in society, except that they have HIV and were caught up in a profound injustice that often ruins their lives.  HIV Is Not a Crime will bring their stories to light, raise awareness of the public health threats and human rights abuses created by HIV criminalization and help mobilize the advocacy necessary for reform.
