I think I've heard it all. People you can not get HIV from saliva unless you are willing to drink 2-3 gallons of spit. Instead of prison, this person could benefit from Anger Management classes and HIV 101. Because it's obvious he thought he could infect someone by spitting (in the newspaper article it states that after spitting he yelled I have HIV) so it's clear that the positive man is uninformed as well as the D.A, Judge and good citizens of Texas.
I don't think the problem is knowledge. Knowledge is out there for anyone who is interested and questioning. I believe HIV just gives hateful people another justification to be hateful, they don't care about the facts, and they don't want to be informed. We're different, we're evil, we're scary and we must be destroyed before we spread like the virus that we carry. So much for the age of enlightenment. The whole situation is a pathetic commentary on our lack of progress as a society!
ok, so this is TERRIBLY scary for all of us with this darn disease. what's next? arresting someone for "reckless endangerment" for spitting on the ground? it's very sad how uninformed and ignorant people STILL are about this disease!!! let's hope this case gets more attention so this doesn't happen to anyone else!!!!

if the guy yelled "i have hiv" than it is obvious he meant to try to give the cop his disease.
