Let's Talk About Sex (Work)!
This document discusses sex work and different policy approaches to regulating it. It defines sex work as the exchange of sexual services between consenting adults. There are over 1 million sex workers in the US generating $200 billion annually, with 14-20 million worldwide. Criminalization of sex work increases risks like HIV transmission and violence against workers. Decriminalization, removing criminal penalties, would decrease STIs/HIV and violence while increasing worker well-being and safety. Legalization through licensing/zoning could recreate an underground market with similar public health risks as criminalization. Decriminalization is identified as having the greatest impact on reducing HIV infections.
HIV/AIDS 101
HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. It infects and weakens the immune system. HIV can turn into AIDS when it damages the immune system to the point where the body has difficulty fighting infections and disease. AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids like blood, semen, rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. It can be spread through activities like unprotected sex and needle sharing. Over 36 million people globally have HIV. Stigma and discrimination against those with HIV undermine efforts to address the epidemic.

ACT UP was founded in 1987 to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and end stigma through protests targeting the FDA, CDC, and other organizations. While ignorance and stigma remain issues, awareness has increased although people of color, especially trans and non-binary individuals, remain disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS.

The UCLA AIDS Institute was founded by Dr. Ronald Mitsuyasu who conducts clinical trials in HIV-associated malignancies and immune-based therapies. The Institute's Center for Clinical AIDS Research and Education supports HIV clinical investigations. UCLA researchers were first to report HIV transmission through breast milk, discover HIV resistance, reduce mother-to-child transmission using AZT, and clear HIV from an infected infant. Recent accomplishments include modeling HIV latency, generating HIV-resistant stem cells, and indicating vulnerability of the gut to HIV. Associate Director Thomas Coates directs studies on men who have sex with men and clinical trials on destigmatizing HIV. Clinical psychologist Gail Wyatt analyzes relationships in the context of STIs/HIV
Current Research in HIV/AIDS
Researchers are reporting a second patient has been cured of HIV after stopping treatment without signs of the virus. This "London Patient" received stem cell transplants from a donor with a CCR5 gene mutation, which prevents HIV from entering cells. While promising, stem cell transplants are risky and not widely available. Gene editing technologies like CRISPR offer potential to disable CCR5, but human trials raise ethical concerns. Other advances include monthly injection drugs and pre-exposure prophylaxis pills, but access and affordability issues remain.
Global HIV Activism
The document summarizes the activism of several individuals in fighting HIV/AIDS stigma. Ryan White advocated after being expelled from school for having HIV, which helped pass the Ryan White Care Act. Gugu Dhama was stoned to death by her community in South Africa after revealing her HIV status. Jyoti Dhawale works with HIV/AIDS groups in India after contracting HIV due to medical negligence. Wan Yanhai founded HIV/AIDS organizations in China and helped expose a blood scandal after facing government pressure. The document calls for serving communities with equal relationships rather than fixing or helping with implied power dynamics.
International AIDS Conference
The document summarizes information about several international organizations related to HIV/AIDS: the United Nations, UNAIDS, IAS, and the International AIDS Conference. The UN was founded in 1945 and includes agencies like WHO, UNICEF, and the World Bank. UNAIDS was founded in 1996 to support the global response to HIV/AIDS through advocacy, monitoring, and resources. The IAS, founded in 1988, includes HIV researchers, clinicians, and policymakers and organizes the biannual International AIDS Conference, the largest conference on any global health issue. The 2018 conference was hosted in Amsterdam and focused on breaking barriers and building bridges.
Partners in Health and AMPATH
Partners in Health was founded in 1987 to bring modern medicine to underserved communities globally. It established its first project in Cange, Haiti in 1985, creating a fully functional hospital and pioneering the community-based healthcare model. This model centered around training local community health workers to provide personalized long-term care to patients and ensure treatment adherence. PIH also implemented Haiti's successful HIV programs and provided free antiretroviral therapy, challenging beliefs it wouldn't work in poor countries. Similarly, AMPATH was a partnership in Kenya that established one of Africa's most comprehensive and effective HIV treatment and management systems through testing, treatment, training of medical professionals, and empowering patients.
People of Color and HIV
This document discusses POC & HIV. It provides statistics showing that HIV diagnoses disproportionately affect black communities and LGBTQ communities in the US. It then explores some of the underlying reasons for these disparities, such as institutionalized racism, limited access to healthcare, poverty, and stigma. The document discusses the concepts of privilege and positionality, and how failing to consider power structures and root causes can perpetuate inequality. It poses questions about what roles the advocacy group PAC and its individual members can play in addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Sex Work and HIV
Sex workers are more vulnerable to HIV due to social and legal factors that increase stigma, as well as the nature of sex work which can involve multiple partners and inconsistent condom use. Transgender sex workers are particularly at risk with HIV prevalence up to nine times higher than cisgender female sex workers due to social exclusion, economic vulnerability, and lack of opportunities. Efforts to decrease HIV transmission among sex workers include addressing violence, funding health and social services, empowering communities, and decriminalizing sex work.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Editor's Notes
- Suicide rates are higher in patients living with HIV than the general public, BUT after antiretroviral therapy was introduced in 1996, suicides among individuals living with HIV have decreased by 50%, so now it is obvious that the primary reason that individuals living with HIV would be committing suicide is because of the effects of stigma Stigma is the disease, HIV is the virus.
- CDC: 1982 - coined the term AIDS, along with first perinatal transmission, took focus away from LGBTQ community with disease (stigma inducing terms: GRID, gay cancer, etc); 1983: 4-Hs; list of at-risk groups: homosexuals, haemophiliacs, heroin addicts and Haitians; increased stigma Reagan: 1985, sympathetic to people scared of sending kids to school with kids living with HIV - touching play clip “chilling video” - inappropriate comments and bad image; increased stigma Diana: 1987, shows people living with HIV are normal decreased stigma Nkosi Johnson: 1999, child activist living with HIV who was denied admission to school because of status; “We are normal” decreased stigma USA travel ban from 1992 to 2010 for people living with HIV from coming into the country; increased stigma Thabo Mbeki (2000): South African President; Denialism that HIV and AIDS are not related/no medical evidence of treatment; increased stigma Pope Benedict XVI (2009): states condoms “aggravates the problem” of HIV - problematic; increased stigma Indication of societal effects of stigma/discrimination surrounding HIV Societal Effects of Stigma on Those Living with/Affected by HIV Undermines efforts of progress Barriers to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support Contributes to the expansion of the global HIV epidemic
- Suicide rates are higher in patients living with HIV than the general public, BUT after antiretroviral therapy was introduced in 1996, suicides among individuals living with HIV have decreased by 50%, so now it is obvious that the primary reason that individuals living with HIV would be committing suicide is because of the effects of stigma
- Relate back to world leaders, personal stories, etc - stigma is not a large presence looming that we can’t fix, it starts with the individual, us; if we can stop stigma on campus, we can contribute through these events and spread awareness; if we can educate one individual, we are one step closer to ending stigma
