ACT UP and Queerocracy joined forces at this year's LGBT Pride March in NYC to protest the recent trend of states
criminalizing HIV and people with AIDS. The march include a prison
float with protesters dressed as prisoners and guards.
HIV
criminalization includes prosecutions of people with HIV for being
unable to prove they disclosed to partners prior to having intimate
sexual contact, but also people with HIV charged with
other crimes but facing more serious charges or penalties simply because
they have HIV. For more information about the growing phenomenon of HIV
criminalization, visit the SERO Project.
