CFAR OCE Manager Alicia Diggs attended the 6th HIV Is Not a Crime National Training Academy (HINAC) brought together advocates, policy leaders, and people living with HIV (PLHIV) to advance justice through decriminalization, healing, and empowerment. Held biennially, HINAC uplifts PLHIV leadership while addressing HIV criminalization, mass incarceration, racism, and broader social injustice. Alicia is the Co-Chair of the North Carolina Host Committee—alongside Judith Montenegro of Latinos in the Deep South—it was an incredible honor to help organize and welcome attendees to our home state. Our committee’s passion, creativity, and collaboration earned us the unofficial title of “Best HINAC Host Committee Ever!”
