Neither the President, nor Congress, have ever directed or authorized the criminal prosecution of HIV positive service members in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ); however, all of the service departments (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard) continue to take actions, both administratively discriminating and criminally prosecuting service members living with HIV. These prosecutions are neither based on any investigation, nor have they ever, reflected the science and medical evidence of transmission or risk. These actions do not protect the force, but rather foster discrimination of specific members of the Armed Forces solely based on living and serving with HIV. Upon review, all corrections to service records/pay/benefits must be made as appropriate to the veteran.
