    Good news for Louisiana as the US Supreme Court declines to hear a case defending a law that stamped driver's licenses with a "SEX OFFENDER" warning. This "scarlet letter law" was overly harsh, destructive and ineffective. via

    Vets discharged under DADT were denied benefits until DADT ended 10 years ago, then they needed a discharge upgrade to access them. As of this week, vets discharged for being gay or having HIV have full access to healthcare, pensions & housing assistance.

    New leadership and membership at PACHA, which has been reconstituted after being disbanded by Trump. With a focus on community-centered initiatives to reach Black communities, there is a chance for dialog and action on HIV as a racial justice issue.

    Interesting take from an ER doctor on the language used to criminalize diseases, from COVID to HIV, that asks how changing this vocabulary will help us see pandemics and epidemics for what they are: a collective public health problem.

    Punishment is not a public health strategy. When it concerns the criminalization of public health issues, including HIV, hepatitis, or COVID-19, we need less criminalization and more states to join those that have reformed their HIV criminal laws.
