Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Summary
The resolution calls on federal, state and local governments, schools, media and law‑enforcement agencies to recognize February 28 as HIV is Not a Crime Awareness Day and to affirm that people living with HIV should not be criminalized because of their status. It urges education about HIV transmission, prevention and treatment, the removal of scientifically inaccurate criminal statutes, and increased support for affected individuals. The measure seeks to reduce stigma, improve public‑health outcomes, and address the disproportionate impact of these laws on Black, brown, transgender women and sex‑worker communities.
