What Clinicians Need to Know—And Do—About HIV Criminalization
Listen now
Description
For all too many people living with HIV in the U.S., the prospect of facing incarceration because of their status is not an abstraction: It is a real and present danger. And in many states, it has nothing to do with science. This month, Juan Michael Porter II speaks with Joseph Cherabie, M.D., M.Sc., about why it's so important for clinicians to educate themselves about HIV criminalization laws in their state -- and then work to support and empower their patients while pushing to get these laws removed.     Read the transcript, which includes valuable links to related resources: https://www.thebodypro.com/article/future-hiv-care-criminalization     Credits: Our executive producer is Myles Helfand; our project manager is Alina Mogollon-Volk; our audio producers/engineers are Alex Portaluppi and Lucy Mueller; and our series editors are Maria Elena Perez and Juan Michael Porter II. This episode's audio was edited by Kim Buikema.
