The latest attempt to modernize Indiana’s antiquated HIV criminalization laws has failed. Though state House representatives passed Indiana House Bill 1198, it did not clear the state’s Senate.

However, this does not stop HIV Modernization Movement-Indiana (HMM) and other advocates for people living with HIV (PLWH) from fighting for change. As Carrie Foote, Ph.D.―who chairs HMM―told TheBody, these laws “don’t reflect modern science." Though that is undeniable, she and her colleagues will have to wait until next year's legislative cycle to see if reform will pass.

I'm a teacher at Chicago's John W. Cooke Elementary, a public school on the city's South Side. This year, I'm working with fifth- and sixth-grade diverse learners.
I enjoyed the classroom when I started my career, but I also saw the writing on the wall right before I began student teaching.
