NEW RESEARCH


** More than 150 people have been placed on Tennessee’s sex offender registry for an
HIV-related conviction
------------------------------------------------------------
At least 154 people have been placed on Tennessee’s sex offender registry (SOR) for an HIV-related conviction since 1993. Enforcement of HIV crimes in Tennessee disproportionately affects women and Black people. Nearly one-half of HIV registrants on the SOR were women and over three-quarters of HIV registrants were Black.

Tennessee’s two primary HIV criminalization laws—aggravated prostitution and criminal exposure—are considered a “violent sexual offense” and require a person convicted to register as a sex offender for life.

Williams Institute research finds an estimated 3.6 million students ([link removed]) in the U.S. identify as LGBT, including about 300,000 who identify as transgender. Our 2017 report ([link removed]) found that 27% of California youth are viewed by their peers at school as gender non-conforming. Several of our studies have documented widespread and pervasive harassment and bullying of LGBTQ+ students ([link removed]) at school. A recent study found that one-third of LGBTQ people ([link removed]) experienced bullying, harassment, or assault at college, compared to 19% of non-LGBTQ people.
