Find the Laws in Your State

Select your state for information on HIV criminalization laws and policies that have been used to prosecute people living with HIV based on research for CHLP's Sourcebook on State and Federal HIV Criminal Law and Practice.

Please note we are in the process of updating these online maps to reflect the updates in Mapping HIV Criminalization Laws in the U.S., CHLP (2025). Please refer to that document for the most up-to-date information.
