ACT UP Pittsburgh

On 7/20, Shapiro approved SB45, which removed the last PA law that criminalized HIV+ people. Previously, sex workers would receive harsher punishment purely based on their HIV status. Removing this discriminatory, disgusting law is an important step. However, it’s essential that we keep fighting the stigma against HIV and sex work. As we celebrate this moment, let’s continue to advocate for sex workers and people living with HIV in Pennsylvania!
