In addition to renewed attacks on federal and state public health and social services, people living with HIV (PLHIV) continue to face discrimination in housing, healthcare, employment, and other settings. Although successful challenges using the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) have resulted in the removal of discriminatory laws, policies, and practices for decades, novel legal strategies leveraging the ADA are now being used to attack HIV criminalization. Through a partnership with the LGBTQI+ Rights Clinic at Northwestern Law’s Bluhm Legal Clinic, the Center for HIV Law and Policy (CHLP) is building off the foundational work of Team ADA to Attack Criminalization (Team ATAC) and working with students to research and prepare for additional challenges to HIV criminalization laws. On April 15 at 11:00 AM CT / 12:00 PM ET, CHLP will moderate this conversation with Northwestern colleagues Kara Ingelhart, Clinic Director, and Kailey Fairchild and Dana Meskan, Clinic Students, who will describe will describe the persistent forms of discrimination faced by PLHIV, including barriers to equitable healthcare, workplace bias and stigma, and the criminalization of their health status through the criminal legal system. The presenters will also document the history and structure of the ADA, as well as innovative legal approaches for using its protections to fight HIV criminalization. Attendees will additionally learn actionable steps for reporting and challenging discrimination in their own lives. Live ASL interpretation will be provided.
