Understanding HIV Criminalization in Ohio

Ohio’s HIV laws were written decades ago, before modern HIV science existed, and still treat HIV as a criminal issue rather than a public health one.

Under current law, people living with HIV can face serious charges in everyday situations, including allegations of nondisclosure, spitting or biting, or other interactions, even when there is no risk of HIV transmission.

Everyone deserves laws grounded in science, dignity, and public health.

Knowing your HIV status is an important part of protecting your health, and today, testing is easier and more private than ever.
HIV self-tests allow people to test at home, on their own schedule, with quick and reliable results.
Free HIV self-test kits are available by mail through trusted programs like Together We Think 4 A Change , and HIV.gov
Access to testing supports prevention, care, and peace of mind.

Ohio’s HIV laws are decades behind modern science.

These laws fuel stigma, discourage testing, and punish people simply for knowing their status, especially Black, Brown, LGBTQ+, disabled, and low-income Ohioans.
Modernizing Ohio’s HIV laws means moving from fear to facts and protecting public health, dignity, and human rights.

❌ MYTH: Disclosing your HIV status to law enforcement will protect you or “clear things up.”
✅ FACT: Your HIV status is private health information. You are not required to disclose it to law enforcement without a lawyer present. Doing so can increase your legal risk under Ohio’s outdated HIV laws.

📌 KNOW THIS: Staying calm and using your rights can make a critical difference in protecting your safety and your future.

Universal Health Coverage Day reminds us how essential reliable healthcare is for people living with HIV.

Programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and the Ryan White Program provide medication access, regular labs, mental health support, and the ability to stay undetectable.
These services help people live long, healthy lives, yet many still face barriers because of stigma, discrimination, and outdated HIV laws.
Everyone deserves coverage that supports their health, safety, and dignity.

HIV criminalization is a human rights issue.

These laws harm nearly everyone, especially people living with HIV, by turning stigma into punishment and targeting Black, Brown, LGBTQ+, disabled, migrant, and low-income Ohioans.
Protecting human rights means ending fear-based laws and moving Ohio toward justice and truth.

Did you know human rights include the right to health, dignity, and freedom from discrimination?

Ohio’s HIV criminalization laws violate these rights by punishing people for their status and ignoring decades of proven science.
Every Ohioan deserves laws grounded in truth, compassion, and equity.

On World AIDS Day, "Your Neighbor" brought ten real stories to life on stage.

This powerful play, based on the lived experiences of Cincinnatians living with HIV, reminded us that ending AIDS IS about seeing each other's full humanity.

Ten stories. Ten neighbors. One truth: stigma kills, but understanding saves lives.

Thank you to everyone who shared their stories and everyone who showed up to witness them.

Today is World AIDS Day, a time to honor our progress and confront the barriers that still stand in the way of health and justice. Ohio’s HIV criminal laws remain rooted in fear rather than science, and they continue to cause real harm for people living with HIV. Modernization is essential for a fairer and more informed Ohio.
On December 6, we are partnering with Caracole and the SERO Project for a Lunch and Learn that brings this issue into focus.
