MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES - 2022/11/09: Participant seen holding a sign at the protest. Members of the AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power (ACT UP), Housing Works and GMHC held a protest outside the NY District Attorney's office at 1 Hogan Place in Manhattan to oppose District Attorney Alvin Bragg's decision to classify a New York resident and force him to register as a sex offender for an out-of-state conviction based solely on their HIV status for otherwise lawful conduct in New York. In a court brief, D.A. Bragg's office praised HIV-specific exposure laws as "preventing any further transmission of HIV." which is in the group's opinion flatly untrue. Such criminal laws have been condemned by every reputable public health organization and are based on outdated science that promotes fear and stigma.
