Murder...I am tired of being called a potential murderer. That criminalization thing is just an excuse for irresponsible people who choose to have sex without a condom. Are non positives obligated to tell me their history of of sti/stds? Some of those can kill go untreated. Sorry, if I sound a little off but, I didn't read the entire article. In closing the cigarette makers should also suffer some sort alleged crime. We all know that can lead to death as well. Sounds crazy huh?
The longer you wait the more criminalization will occur the uneducated are still talking about mass isolation is the only way to cure this virus, but that is just not medically true, yet, people still think that if they have contact with you they might "catch" something, education is the only answer to this problem, if we do nothing, it will only get worse, soon if you just "Think" about having a physical relationship you will need to get a legal agreement signed, think that is crazy think again
First off let me say i have been posiative since 2003 while i my self would never have sex with anyone with out disclsing my status I dont blame the guy who infected me i was a grown adult i knew the risk i was taking and regretably choose to take it so how can i blame any one but myself also crimnalizing hiv only stops people from getting tested if they dont know then they cant be convicted that is crazy
All of this makes me feel like committing suicide. Laws in my state that I MUST use condoms. I feel this is a violation of my right of privacy. I should have been in jail long ago if this were the case. What about HIV positive people that have sex with other HIV positive people and DO NOT USE CONDOMS? In this state they should be jailed. What about all who openly talk about bareback sex that are positive. It makes me mad that the government is violating MY RIGHTS OF PRIVACY In the bedroom.
I think if they know and have sex unprotected they should be prosecuted, but even more so if they are asked their status and lie about it. I never was angry at the woman who passed it to me, because I sincerely don't believe she was aware of it. I was involved in the decision to have unprotected sex. If I had asked, she said no and then I got infected, then she should be arrested. To me it is not nearly as complicated as the article indicates.
Wow.. a lot of angry in the words below, and glad I have a number one and only for having sex is a bit dangerous for the community might stone a person to death. In the old days of having sex in the 80's in learning free sex concepts from the other sexual humans in the commnity, you know Love, Free Love or Sexing (oh wrong erra) If a person became HIV, we would not blame our sex partners for we would love them and take care of them. But again that was pre knowledge of the ethics one epects now.
I have been Positive for almost 30 yrs co9me this Oct and I make sure that I tell the woman my Status and if she is Negitive (Hiv-) and still wants to have sex with me I will ask her to sign a piece of paper stating that I informed her of my Status, I need to cover myself because there are a lot of people that when they get angry with you they'll try to hurt you by using your Status against you...

Until we put face to HIV the the general publics reactions to HIV will never change. HIV is not talked about like it was in the late 80's early 90's. It time to bring AWARENESS back and EDUCATE the on HIV
