Policy Roundtable: Revolutionary Health Live — HIV Criminalization (Part I)
This episode of Revolutionary Health Live brings together legal scholars, policy advocates, and public health leaders for a focused roundtable on HIV criminalization in the United States. Hosted by Michael Ward and produced by CNPTV, the discussion examines how HIV criminal laws conflict with modern science, undermine public health goals, and perpetuate stigma.
The conversation situates HIV criminalization within broader systems of law and governance, emphasizing the need for legal modernization, equity-centered policy approaches, and cross-sector collaboration. Rather than centering individual behavior, the roundtable highlights institutional responsibility and the role of public health leadership in advancing reform.
This entry supports leadership and capacity building by documenting a systems-level policy discussion that models how interdisciplinary expertise can inform more just and effective HIV responses.
