Hillary Clinton: HIV is not a crime

While Hillary Clinton wasn’t able to attend the HIV Is Not a Crime Training Academy, she did send a pre-recorded video to the event. The presidential candidate pledged to work toward ending HIV discrimination and stigma if elected.

Clinton acknowledged that HIV seriously impacts “communities of color, transgender people, gay and bisexual men and young people, around the world.” She also stressed the need to reform laws that criminalize HIV and have sent people to jail based on old or junk science.
