Their demands:
• Repealing laws that criminalize HIV and other infectious diseases.
• Decriminalizing sex work.
• Undoing the harassment and criminalization of immigrant communities.
• Minimizing criminal justice involvement for people who use drugs.
• Reducing mass incarceration.
• Eliminating both mandatory minimums for drug offenses and cash bail.
• Removing legal barriers to accessing public housing and other social benefits for individuals with past drug convictions.

How would any of them reduce HIV in that community? If anything it would increase HIV and maybe spread it to other communities. Maybe that is the playpen, more HIV for everyone else so it will be equal.
