Campaign to repeal HIV exposure laws gains momentum
A coalition backed by Rep Barbara Lee presses states to reform or repeal criminal statutes punishing HIV exposure. The push cites CDC guidance that HIV spreads mainly via unprotected sex, needles, and birth, not saliva or spitting, and notes few prosecutions require actual transmission. Advocates warn laws deter testing and treatment while calls grow for responsibility without criminal penalties.

Drought Drives Hay Prices and Helps Alfalfa Research
Drought across the Southwest tightens hay supply and raises prices, pushing ranchers to pay more for alfalfa while farmers in North Dakota and Minnesota feel the effects. New Mexico State University scientists, led by Ian Ray, use DNA markers and breeding to develop drought tolerant alfalfa. Early trials show 9 to 15 percent higher yield in plants with drought markers, promising improved forage quality and resilience.
