Ohio Health Modernization Movement

World Day of Social Justice reminds us that health, equity, and justice are deeply connected.

Laws and policies shape who feels safe accessing care, who is protected, and who is placed at risk. When public health policy relies on outdated assumptions instead of evidence, inequities are reinforced.

Advancing social justice means ensuring that science, equity, and dignity guide how health is governed.

In Ohio, a person can face up to 8 years in prison under the felonious assault statute for HIV-related charges, even when there is no intent to harm and no risk of transmission.

This isn’t about public safety. It’s about laws that haven’t kept pace with modern HIV science. When punishment replaces evidence-based policy, stigma grows, and public health suffers.

Presidents’ Day is about legacy.
The question is: what kind of legacy do our laws leave behind? Do they protect public health or punish people for their status?

Ohio still has HIV laws rooted in the fear of the 1990s, not the science of today.

Let’s build a legacy of truth, dignity, and justice.

🎈 Happy International Condom Day 🎈

Condoms are one of the simplest tools we have to prevent HIV. They protect health. They protect futures.

But protection should not stop there. Ohio’s laws still punish people for living with HIV, even when there is no transmission.

HIV is not a crime. It is time to modernize Ohio’s HIV laws.

🚨 Science changed. Ohio’s HIV laws didn’t.

People who are undetectable can’t transmit HIV (U=U). That’s fact.
Yet outdated laws still criminalize people for their status.

Fear isn’t public health. Science is.

Saturday was National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.
A time to recognize how HIV intersects with race, access to care, and justice, and to reaffirm that education and prevention save lives.

Ending HIV-related harm means investing in care, education, and evidence-based public health, not fear-driven approaches that have failed Black communities for decades.

💡 Did you know?
In Ohio, spitting or biting can be charged as a 2nd-degree felony because the saliva of a person living with HIV can be treated as a “deadly weapon.”

Let that sink in.

HIV cannot be transmitted through saliva. Yet people are facing decades in prison based on fear, not science. It’s time to modernize Ohio’s HIV laws and end punishment rooted in misinformation.
