In This Issue

Around the globe 76 nations criminalize same sex activity. We wrap up our coverage of the 20th International AIDS Conference with a story describing how the repressive anti-gay laws that exist around the world undermine efforts to fight HIV and a piece about the impact that laws that bar PLWHA from entering certain nations or that expel HIV-positive foreigners already living there have upon HIV-positive people.

We introduce you to the leaders of the Black Treatment Advocate Network from coast to coast and provide you with information on how to reach them. Recently appeals courts have issued conflicting rulings to challenges to the ACA. Our friends at Kaiser Health News help us sort through the confusion.

Finally we share a list of resources to help people living with hepatitis C or HIV/hepatitis co-infection access the information, care and treatment they need.

Yours in the struggle,

Phill
