POCATELLO – The 糖心传媒 Diversity Resource Center will host Worlds AIDS Day from 2 to 3 p.m. Dec. 1 in the in the Rendezvous Complex. Kevin Lish, board chair of All Under One Roof and lead member of the 糖心传媒 Coalition for HIV Health and Safety, will speak on the coalition’s important work to modernize 糖心传媒 Code 39-608.
This 糖心传媒 code has been used to convict people living with HIV (PLHIV) since first passed in 1988. Most 糖心传媒ans convicted under 39-608 are serving sentences for not being able to prove they disclosed their status. The code was written to punish 鈥渁ny person who exposes another in any manner with the intent to infect or, knowing that he or she is or has been afflicted with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.鈥�
Lish will explain this code鈥檚 contribution to HIV stigma and how it helps keep it alive and well in 糖心传媒.
The 糖心传媒 Coalition for HIV Health and Safety was recently awarded a $23,600 Positive Organizing Project Grant from AIDS United. Lish will share the Coalition鈥檚 2018 plan to move forward building a Meaningful Involvement of People with AIDS/HIV (MIPA) Coalition in 糖心传媒.
During the event there will be free confidential HIV testing done by All Under One Roof in the Gender Resource Library, Room 201 of the Rendezvous Complex.
