Currently, a bill is moving through the Michigan state legislature which would expand the current law criminalizing non-disclosure of HIV status with a sexual partner to include hepatitis C. NVHR is collaborating with the HIV Prevention Justice Alliance, the Positive Justice Project, and Michigan advocates to show the support of national organizations for the state's hepatitis C and HIV advocates who are trying to stop this bill in its tracks.
Please consider signing your organization on to the letter to Michigan State Senate and House leadership, to send a message that we stand united with Michiganders in our view that criminalization of people living with hepatitis C and HIV is wrong.
To sign on, please email Christine Rodriguez at crodriguez at nvhr.org by COB Friday, December 12, 2014. This initial letter is for national organizations only, but we are collecting sign-ons from all organizations to use in future efforts. If there are additional opportunities for local organizations outside of Michigan to weigh in, NVHR will reach out.
