.@SenWhitehouse You must push to eliminate school vouchers and cuts to Medicaid and school nutrition programs from the Budget Reconciliation bill. The vast majority of your constituents want more funding for our public schools, not giveaways to billionaires. Fight for us!

🤦‍♀️Biting doesn't transmit HIV
🤦‍♂️Spitting doesn't transmit HIV
🤦‍♀️HIV cannot be passed via saliva, period.

And yet in 10 US States (count 'em, TEN!), those acts are ILLEGAL if you have HIV.

(for real)

This #NYHAAD tell Congress to fix it: https://t.co/NTo5UKORGi

Discrimination 101: Different consequences for the same action

But in 37 states, crimes committed by ppl living w/ HIV carry a much heavier sentence than if the same crime were done by someone without HIV! This #NYHAAD, tell Congress HIV is not a crime https://t.co/NTo5UKORGi

[Jack Rusley @doctorjackmd]

More people are prosecuted for the violation of HIV criminal statutes & laws in the United States than in the entire rest of the world combined.

You read that right - combined!

This #NYHAAD, tell Congress to do something about it https://t.co/YNnrktzUh2

[Dalmacio Dennis Flores 🌈🇵🇭 @dfloresrn]

The only good thing about having having to cut off my #SAHM22 presentation bec I had too many slides is that we could get to @HHS_ASH talk. Always inspiring to hear from her and the many ways we can support #LGBTQIA youth.

[Scott Hadland, MD @DrScottHadland]

My kids go to a school where they can safely talk about their parents — two gay dads. 👨‍👨‍👧‍👦

What about families like ours in Florida? You can’t erase me, my husband, or my kids, and I won’t stand by while lawmakers try. ✊🏻🌈 #DontSayGay

[Jack Rusley @doctorjackmd]

Excited to be attending #SAHM22. Hearing from experts on youth and #sexualhealth - both the doctor kind and the youth kind!
