< Back to School Policy Hub Hepatitis B What is Hep B? How It's Spread Symptoms Getting Tested Testing Positive Prevention What is Hepatitis B? Hepatitis B is a liver infection caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). This is a very common virus. It is a different virus from HSV ( herpes ), HPV, and HIV . When we say common, we mean REALLY common. More than 200,000 people are diagnosed each year. Any age can be affected, although infections are rare outside of those 19-60 years old. Hepatitis B is not treatable. Unfortunately, Hepatitis B has no cure, but it can go away on its own. How It's Spread Hepatitis B is spread by infected blood or contact with infected blood or bodily fluids (semen and saliva). It can be spread by having sexual intercourse with an infected partner or injection drug use that involves syringes, needles, or drug preparation equipment. Contact with blood from the sores of an infected person or birth, if a mother is infected, can also transmit HBV. Sharing certain items with an infected person that can break skin or mucous membranes, like razors and toothbrushes, can result in possible exposure to blood and lead to infection. HBV can last a week outside of the body and still be infectious to anyone who uses it. If you think something may be infected with HBV blood, it should be disinfected with a 1:10 dilution of one part bleach and ten parts water. It is strongly recommended to wear gloves during this process, or you may be infected. Dry blood or not, it is still contaminated and can still infect you. Symptoms Not all people with HBV have symptoms. The signs vary depending on the age of the infected. Most children above the age of 5 and newly infected adults who are immunosuppressed generally don’t have any symptoms. 30%-50% of children under the age of 5 have symptoms. These symptoms are fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, urine pain, clay-colored feces, joint pain, and jaundice. Some people may also contract chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma (primary liver cancer). You will experience symptoms in a range of 60-150 days after exposure to HBV. Getting Tested When testing for HBV, you will undergo three different serological tests: a hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) test, a hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) test, and a total hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc). These tests can determine if a patient has an acute or chronic HBV infection and needs post-test counseling and linkage to care if they’re immune to HBV as a result of prior infection or vaccination. or if they are susceptible to infection and in need of vaccination. It's important to get tested regularly. If you're sexually active, this means at least once per year. Even if you or your partner don't show symptoms, you should follow this general rule of thumb. Seriously. If hepatitis B goes untreated, you are more susceptible to developing severe scarring of the liver, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Click here to find a local testing center Testing Positive So, your results came back positive. The first thing to remember is that this is nothing to be ashamed of. If you or your partner have hepatitis B, it does not necessarily mean anyone cheated. Test results may not detect chronic hepatitis B until well after contracting it. It can take from years to even decades in many cases to show up. How do I get rid of it? Sadly, there is no cure for hepatitis B, but sometimes it will go away on its own. Your doctor can prescribe you medications to help you with long-lasting hepatitis B infections. It can disappear on its own after 4-8 weeks, and 9 in 10 adults completely recover. However, 1 in 20 adults who recover become carriers, which means they have a chronic hepatitis b infection (liver cancer and cirrhosis). About 1 in 5 people die from chronic hepatitis B. Prevention Get vaccinated. You can prevent HBV by getting a vaccine. All infants, unvaccinated children under the age of 19, people at risk for infection by sexual exposure, and people at risk for infection by percutaneous or mucosal exposure to blood should be tested. International travelers to countries with high or intermediate levels of hepatitis B virus infection, people with the hepatitis C virus infection, people with chronic liver disease, people with HIV, and people who are incarcerated should also be tested. Wear protection. If you are sexually active, use latex condoms every time you have sex. It can lower your chances of getting hepatitis B, but not entirely. You can still contract hepatitis B from areas that are not covered by a condom or by coming into contact with infected blood or other fluids. References Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

< Back to School Policy Hub MDCPS Reaffirms the Importance of Diversity [Miami, FL] – On Wednesday, the Miami Dade School Board approved Board Member Dr.Steve Gallon III's amendment to an extremely controversial agenda item that many feared would prohibit pride flags and flags from other countries. This amendment ensures that flags representing federally-protected classes can still be displayed. This reaffirms what many members of our community made clear at the board meeting today: that our students, teachers, and parents deserve to feel seen and represented throughout the year, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
- school-board-advocacy | PRISM
< Back to School Policy Hub School Board Advocacy School Board Advocacy: Why It Matters and How to Get Involved School boards have enormous influence over what happens in classrooms. From bathroom policies to club recognition, from curriculum rules to teacher training, these elected bodies decide what is allowed, what is encouraged, and what is erased. For LGBTQ+ students and families, this is where many of the most important fights are happening. While state laws set the framework, school boards often determine how those laws are interpreted and enforced. That means speaking up at a school board meeting can directly impact your school and your district. What School Boards Decide In Florida, each of the state’s 67 school districts has its own school board. These boards vote on official policies, approve instructional materials, decide whether to recognize student clubs, and adopt or repeal diversity protections. They are also responsible for enforcing state mandates like the Parental Rights in Education Act and HB 1521. But how they enforce those laws can vary. Some school boards move quickly to restrict LGBTQ+ expression. Others find ways to protect students while staying within legal limits. Broward County Public Schools is a clear example. In recent years, its board has passed public resolutions supporting LGBTQ+ History Month and affirming the existence of GSAs. These are not just symbolic. They create space for student-led visibility and signal that affirming practices are still possible. How to Speak at a Meeting Anyone can sign up to speak at a Florida school board meeting. You do not need to be 18 or have a parent’s permission. Here are the basics: Check the board website for meeting dates and speaker deadlines. Some require sign-up one or two days in advance. Look at the agenda to see if items related to LGBTQ+ rights, curriculum, or student groups are listed. Some items appear on the consent agenda, which can be passed without discussion unless someone pulls them. Prepare a short comment. Most districts allow one to three minutes. Focus on what the policy means for you or someone you care about. Be specific. Ask the board to vote yes or no on a particular item, or to make a clear change to an existing rule or practice. If you are nervous, bring a friend or speak as a group. You can also submit written comment by email if you cannot attend in person. What You Can Expect Sometimes board members will thank you. Sometimes they will ignore you. Sometimes you will be speaking in a room where people are hostile to LGBTQ+ rights. That does not mean you are doing it wrong. It means your voice is needed. Even if the policy passes, your words become part of the public record. They shape future conversations. They give others the courage to speak next time. Change is often slow. But when students and families show up consistently, it makes a difference. Why Local Action Still Matters In recent years, LGBTQ+ advocates have stopped book bans, protected GSAs, and slowed the repeal of equity policies—all by organizing around school boards. These are winnable fights. But they take coordination, courage, and presence. PRISM is here to help. We offer reminders, speaker training, talking points, and on-the-ground support for school board advocacy across Florida. Whether you are giving your first public comment or leading your entire GSA, we want to work with you. Your story can change the conversation. Your voice can shape policy. And your presence can shift power.

< Back to School Policy Hub Homosexuality in Latin America Homosexuality in Latin America The Pre-Colonial Period The Colonial Period The Post-Colonial Period Conclusion Map of Latin America (Source: Davi Garner) One thing about history is it is tainted by those who rule. The mix of influences that create history is told from the leading perspective, sometimes missing important individuals, groups, or events. One group that has been significantly underrepresented in Latin American history is that of the LGBTQ+ community. In particular, this article will explore the history of gay individuals and perceptions of them throughout Latin America’s pre-colonial, colonial, and post-colonial periods. The Pre-Colonial Period As for the public’s perception, ancient Latin America is relatively accepting of homosexual relationships. Certain tribes used non-binary social structures and did not have strict gender roles like those we see today. (Check out our article for more information on perceptions on homosexuality in pre-colonial America). Serge Gruzinski (Source: Ministerio de Defensa, Flickr) Of course, that does not mean that it was acceptable to be gay during this time. Still, given the existing literature of the colonial period (most of the literature available from this period is from inquisitors), it is safe to assume it was more commonplace in certain places like Mexico City, Puebla, and even Brazil. In fact, according to scholar Serge Gruzinski’s book titled Las Cenizas Del Deseo , one of the conclusions that can be made from the literature available from pre-colonial Latin America is that networks of men “who sought out other men for sexual relationships did exist in the [pre]colonial period.” The Colonial Period So, how did homophobia take hold in Latin America? According to Luiz Mott, anthropologist and sexual freedom activist, “Homophobia is a result of machismo and slavery.” Homophobic rhetoric did not begin to take hold until the Spanish Inquisition. There were a few known cases of homophobic laws passed before colonization, but most of these cases were mainly for power purposes and not against the nature of homosexuality. Laws Against Homosexuality With that being said, homophobia began to proliferate during the colonial period. In particular, one can turn to the diary of Gregorio Martin de Guijo for one of the earliest cases of homophobia. De Guijo shares a judicial case from 1658 where 123 men were accused of partaking in homosexual relationships (or as De Guijo states, “the abominable sin”). Despite laws against homosexuality, these relationships did not cease. Luiz Mott, in a study of Inquisition documents, notes that a person’s social status played a large role in the outcome of their judicial cases when they were accused of sodomy. There were multiple cases in which judges imposed more lenient penalties on individuals accused of sodomy. Cover of Aldrich's "Infamous Desire" (Source: University of Chicago Press) Robert Aldrich, who wrote Infamous Desire: Male Homosexuality in Colonial Latin America , also notes many other cases in which offenders of this law “confessed to multiple sexual partners, sometimes over a long period of time, despite the interdiction on sodomy." Despite best efforts to outlaw homosexuality, many people persisted in same-gender sex. Punishments Against Homosexuality Eventually, the laws imposed during the colonial period took hold, and homosexuality was outlawed. With this, homophobic rhetoric took hold and became widespread. Homophobic acts became far more extreme. For years, many individuals accused of committing “the sin of sodomy” were exiled or placed into forced labor. Some were even killed, such as a slave in 1678 who was whipped due to accusations of sodomy. The Post-Colonial Period The Spanish Inquisition continued, and strides in the gay rights movement were not made until the early 19th century. According to Anna Azevedo and Luiz Mott, it was at the end of the Inquisition in 1821 that homosexuality was no longer considered a criminal offense in Brazil. However, that does not mean homophobia was no longer prevalent in the world. Decriminalization does not mean legalization. It’s taken nearly 200 years to go from the decriminalization of homosexuality to the legalization of gay marriage. With that being said, there were still notable events in Latin American queer history. Gay Rights Movement One of the important firsts to note in history is the first gay candidate for public office, Jose Julio Sarria. There were also many other activists during this time, such as Sylvia Rivera , a trans, Puerto Rican activist who helped spark the Stonewall riots. She also helped to create the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries with Marsha P. Johnson . Socially, the first gay pride movement in Latin America was Argentina's Nuestro Mundo in 1967. There were also movements taking place throughout the next decade, in which Chile’s first gay group, Integracion, was created in 1977. In Mexico, the Homosexual Liberation Front was founded in 1971. Nuestros Mundo, 1967 (Source: Mirada H.) Conclusion Despite the many movements made towards gaining rights for the LGBTQ+ community in Latin America, there is still much progress to be made. Even so, we must remember the history of those who came before us and how the homophobic rhetoric that claims our contemporary society came to be. The only way to decolonize the perspective many people have on homosexuality is to speak out and understand how these views came to take hold. References Aldrich, Robert.

< Back to School Policy Hub HIV & AIDS What are HIV and AIDS? How It's Spread Getting Tested Testing Positive Prevention What are HIV and AIDS? HIV and AIDS are NOT the same thing. HIV, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus, is a sexually transmitted infection that attacks and weakens your immune system. AIDS, or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, is a disease caused by HIV that makes it extremely hard for your body to fight off infections. HIV has no cure. Once someone gets HIV, they've got it for good. However, there are treatments that can reduce your viral load to the point where you cannot give it to someone else. 1.2 MILLION Americans have HIV. There are about 34,800 new cases reported every year. While HIV disproportionately affects gay and bisexual men, anyone can get HIV, regardless of age, sex, race, or sexual orientation. How It's Spread HIV is carried in semen, blood, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. You can get it by having vaginal or anal sex or by sharing needles or syringes. HIV isn't spread through saliva, and you can't get it just by kissing or touching someone who is HIV-positive. If you think you've been exposed to HIV, you can take PEP, or post-exposure prophylaxis, within 72 hours to lower your chances of contracting it. Getting Tested Testing for HIV is generally simple and painless. HIV testing usually involves either a cheek swab or drawing blood. When you contract HIV, your body produces antibodies to fight against the virus. An antibody test, which is the most common, looks for these antibodies in the blood. Generally, it can take 18 to 90 days for your body to make these antibodies. This means that for this period, your test results can come back negative, even if you have HIV. This is known as the window period. NATs (Nucleic Acid Tests) only have a 10 to 33 day window period and involve drawing blood from a vein to look for the virus itself. However, these tests are extremely expensive and only used in high-risk situations. Some tests, called rapid HIV tests, can give you results in 30 minutes or less. Almost all rapid HIV tests are antibody tests. These generally involve either a cheek swab or drawing blood through a finger prick. You can also get an at-home rapid HIV test called OraQuick, which can be purchased at your local pharmacy or online . Others can take several days or weeks if samples need to be sent to a lab. It's important to get tested regularly. If you're sexually active or share needles for drug use, piercings, or tattoos, get tested. It can take up to 10 years to develop AIDS, so most people who have HIV don't know it until they get tested. Seriously. AIDS is a BIG problem, especially among LGBTQ+ folk. So, do you and your partner a HUGE favor and put your minds at ease. Click here to find a local testing center . Testing Positive So, your results came back positive. The first thing to remember is that this is nothing to be ashamed of. If you or your partner have HIV, it does not necessarily mean anyone cheated. Like we said, most people who contract HIV don't know they have it until years later. How do I get rid of it? If you think you've been exposed to HIV, you can take PEP, or post-exposure prophylaxis , within 72 hours to lower your chances of contracting it. Unfortunately, HIV can't be cured. However, your doctor can prescribe antiretroviral medications that can lower the amount of the virus in your body and slow the damage it does to your immune system. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) can lower your viral load to a point where it doesn't show up on standard tests. At this point, it is considered "undetectable," meaning that you can't spread HIV to sexual partners. "Undetectable" doesn't mean cured. Even if your viral load becomes undetectable, it can still return to detectable levels if you stop treatment, meaning you can spread it to your partner(s) again. It is important to maintain treatment if you contract HIV. Prevention Wear protection. The easiest way to prevent the spread of HIV is by wearing protection. Barrier methods like condoms and dental dams are 90-95% effective in protecting you from HIV. Consider taking PrEP. PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis , is a daily pill that can prevent HIV. It's especially useful for MSM (men who have sex with men) since they make up the biggest group of HIV cases in the United States. If you think you've been exposed to HIV, you can take PEP, or post-exposure prophylaxis, within 72 hours to lower your chances of contracting it. Use clean needles. Don't share needles when shooting drugs or getting tattoos or piercings. References HIV.gov (2021, June 2). U.S. Statistics .
