The Atlantic Magazine On World AIDS Day (2012)

On December 4th, 2012, the Atlantic's article in commemoration of World AIDS Day, "How Close Are We to an AIDS-Free Generation?"  notes the influence that criminalization has on reaching the National AIDS Strategy's goals. "It is difficult to see how we can effectively encourage early diagnosis and treatment, and prevent new cases of HIV, while we have government policies and laws that single out HIV for punitive treatment," stated Catherine Hanssens, Executive Director of CHLP, who was interviewed for the article.
