** New data interactive on HIV criminalization in the United States
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
Last week, the Williams Institute released a new data interactive ([link removed]) focused on HIV criminalization in the U.S. The interactive allows users to explore data from 16 Williams Institute reports that assessed the impact of state-level HIV criminal laws on people living with HIV. For instance,
* Enforcement of HIV criminal laws—arrests, convictions, and incarcerations—still happens frequently today.
* In many states, HIV crimes are disproportionately enforced in certain counties and by specific law enforcement agencies.
* Black people are more likely than their non-Black peers to be arrested and convicted for HIV crimes. They also face longer sentences after conviction and are more likely to experience the life-long consequences of felony convictions.
* Decades of incarcerating people for HIV crimes have cost states millions of dollars in incarceration costs alone.

The interactive also includes a timeline of medical advances in HIV prevention and information on HIV transmission risk by activity.

** Scholars submit public comment in response to proposed Title IX rule
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
In June, the U.S. Department of Education issued a proposed rule clarifying that Title IX protects LGBTQI+ students from discrimination and harassment based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics. Williams Institute scholars submitted a public comment to inform the Department of Education as it finalizes the rule. The comment provided research detailing the persistent discrimination, harassment, and assault faced by LGBT people in educational settings and demonstrated the negative effects of stigma and discrimination on the health and well-being of LGBT people. It also made several recommendations related to enforcement of the rule.
