At its February meeting, the US President’s Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA) passed a resolution calling on the federal government to take a leadership role in eliminating the criminalization of HIV in the U.S. Many scientists and civil society groupings (such as the HIV Prevention Justice Alliance) have long opposed harmful and counterproductive laws that criminalize HIV in the U.S. and elsewhere.
