On Saturday, February 28, we observe International HIV Is Not A Crime (HINAC) Day. Launched in the United States in 2022, HINAC Day brings people together to stand in unity against the harms and violence of HIV criminalization. Since 2024, HINAC Day has been formally acknowledged in Canada.
Today, and every day, the Ontario AIDS Network stands in solidarity with people living with HIV across Canada and around the world who continue to face stigma, discrimination, and unjust criminalization. We recognize and honour the brave advocacy of those who speak out to demand justice, dignity, and human rights.
