HIV is a medical condition - not a moral failing or a crime. On HIV is Not a Crime Awareness Day, we up-lift those that live with HIV and advocate for laws that reflect today's medical realities.

Criminalization fuels fear and misinformation, while education and access to care saves lives.

HIV is not a crime, and stigmatizing HIV hurts people and stands in the way of folks getting the care they need.

We stand with Jeanne White-Ginder, and we encourage everyone reading this to follow the HIV Modernization Movement - Indiana to learn how they can be a part of ending HIV stigma. We all have a role to play!

On February 28 is HIV Is Not a Crime Awareness Day and Indiana has a choice.

👥 Stand with Jeanne White-Ginder and honor the legacy of Ryan White by urging lawmakers to modernize Indiana’s outdated HIV criminal laws.

It takes 2 minutes to contact your State Senator and Representative. A draft message is ready or you can personalize it, and it sends automatically.

Stand with Jeanne. Stand with science. Stand for reform.

Send your message by February 28. Go to https://tinyurl.com/standwithjeanne

UPDATE: The proposed amendment was not adopted. Thank you so much for taking action.

Much of the work we do at Damien Center is supported by the 340B Drug Pricing Program. The 340B program is a federal program that requires drug manufacturers to offer significant discounts on outpatient prescription drugs to certain safety-net healthcare providers (covered entities) that serve low-income and uninsured patients.

The savings we receive from 340B allow us to invest in the various support services we offer to our clients. In addition, because of 340B, 85% of Damien Center patients pay nothing for their prescriptions, while the rest pay very little.

The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning, recently announced its plan to claim 340B revenue. That means the revenue from the 340B program would go to the state, rather than to organizations like Damien Center, which serve everyone who walks through their doors, regardless of their ability to pay.

Please contact your legislators AS SOON AS POSSIBLE and ask them to amend Senate Bill 4 to protect organizations like the Damien Center.
