A Teachable Moment

Submitted on Aug 28, 2018 by Angel S.

My first meeting of any type to meet a candidate. I was able to ask Aaron Ford about his knowledge on the current HIV laws here in Nevada. He said he didn't know anything. I think this is an important opportunity to get the U=U message over to his office. I told him how current laws hurt people who know their status and get in care, and take their meds. #SciencenotStigma (thank you #preventionaccesscampaign )! Anyway, he said he is interested in being educated. I know he wants to be voted in as General Attorney of Nevada. The person holding this type of office needs to be educated if "we" are to continue this work to update and reform the outdated laws. Now is the time to act. November 6 election. We need to educate our first responders and those on direct intersection of being in the same safe space; educated or not, to respond not judge. Either way, unicorns and rainbows. XO
