​
Lashanda Salinas, a native of Hartsville, Tennessee, has been living with HIV for over 25 years. She is an active member of the Tennessee HIV Modernization Coalition, a Health Not Prisons advocate, and a member of The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation Council of Justice Leaders. Her advocacy started after facing an unjust HIV prosecution under Tennessee's criminal exposure to HIV statute, placing her on the sex offender registry.
Lashanda is the first person to have sex offender registration requirement terminated as a result of the passage of Senate Bill 807 and House Bill 832.
A Go Fund Me account has been established to support Lashanda in her advocacy work.
