On World AIDS Day, Justice Department Remains Resolute in Protecting the Civil Rights of People Living with HIV and AIDS

On World AIDS Day 2024 (observed Dec. 1, 2024), the Justice Department remains steadfast in its commitment to uphold the civil rights of all Americans, including people living with HIV and AIDS. For decades, the Department has prioritized enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act and other federal laws to seek equal opportunity for, and to combat discrimination against, people living with HIV and AIDS. That includes challenging the enforcement of discriminatory state criminal laws that treat people differently based on HIV status alone and are not based on actual risks of harm. On World AIDS Day, the Department recommits to ensuring that every person, regardless of their HIV status, can live free from prejudice and discrimination and thrive with dignity and respect.
