Donna Jordan is an advocate. She revealed her thoughts to end the HIV epidemic in New Jersey. She said: “After many years of advocacy and with the breakthroughs of modern science, the time is NOW to modernize New Jersey’s HIV-specific criminal statutes. We know discrimination. We’ve been fighting against it our entire lives. And when we learned that there are laws that discriminate against people living with HIV (PLHIV), we couldn’t stay silent.”

According to Donna, “The issue of HIV/AIDS is very personal to me. I lost several friends to the disease during the height of the epidemic in the 1980s and early 90s. Friends who, if diagnosed today, would have had the opportunity to live long, healthy lives thanks to modern medicine. What I didn’t realize was that those friends living with HIV today would face prosecution for their status. HIV criminalization laws that were enacted decades ago — created initially as misinformed public health tools and guided by a culture of fear — have not been updated to meet the latest science….”
