"In 2019, the Nevada Legislature began exploring possible modernization of the state’s existing HIV criminalization laws with the creation of an Advisory Task Force on HIV Exposure Modernization.
Williams Institute’s testimony examines the legislative history of Nevada’s HIV crimes, summarizes the publicly available data on the enforcement of these crimes in Nevada, and discusses how the criminalization of HIV is in conflict with the goals of Nevada’s statewide plan to fight HIV. In addition, the testimony provides recommendations for modernizing the state’s laws to consider current knowledge of HIV transmission and align HIV with all other serious communicable diseases".
