HIV / AIDS
The ACLU AIDS Project uses impact litigation, public education and advocacy at the state and federal level to fight discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS. The overall goal of the Project is to work to create a world in which discrimination based on HIV status has ended, people with HIV have control over their medical information and care, and where the government’s HIV policy promotes public health and respect and compassion for people living with HIV and AIDS.

If you've been mistreated or harassed based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or HIV status, the ACLU wants to hear about it |
The ACLU’s HIV and AIDS work focuses on eliminating discrimination against people living with HIV, protecting privacy and medical decision making, ensuring that our government’s HIV policies are based on scientific principles and evidence, and improving access to HIV care, particularly for those in prison or other kinds of government custody.
