In the first-ever LIVE episode of Policy in Pink, recorded at the OPHA Conference, we tackle STI criminalization in Oklahoma—because nothing says “public health” like criminalizing health. Tommy teams up with Jeremy Simmons from HOPE Testing to break down how century-old laws still turn common infections into crimes, and how a recent bill nearly made having HPV a felony that could cost you your right to vote. (Yes, that HPV—the one almost everyone gets.) Join a room full of public health pros for a sharp, snarky, and very real look at how bad policy from 1910(!) keeps getting in the way of good health.
