The Sero Project (1 Articles with 1,875 total views)

Sero is a network of people with HIV and allies fighting for freedom from stigma and injustice. Sero is particularly focused on ending inappropriate criminal prosecutions of people with HIV, including for non-disclosure of their HIV status, potential or perceived HIV exposure or HIV transmission. Sero’s HIV criminalization work includes raising public awareness through community education efforts and outreach to mobilize and advocate for reform. Sero supports and has facilitated the creation of a network of people living with HIV who have been criminalized, so they can speak first-hand about the effects of criminalization on their lives. By engaging and empowering those most directly affected to advocate on their own behalf and share their compelling personal stories, we help build a growing grassroots movement to mobilize the advocacy necessary to end HIV criminalization and promote a human rights-based approach to end the HIV epidemic.
