Hi friends! I just wanted to point out that California didn't decriminalize HIV, it just reformed the law. Here's more info: https://www.hivlawandpolicy.org/resources/hiv-criminal-law-reform-and-after-california-chlp-2020
“Repealing the HIV law does not mean that people cannot be held accountable for intentionally transmitting HIV...” How about knowingly and recklessly transmitting HIV? Doesn’t the transmitter bear any responsibility at all for engaging in purely optional, controllable behavior that harms others? Dem states are insane.

Sorry for the additional comment. Texas is the only other state to repeal all specific mention of HIV from its criminal code: https://www.hivlawandpolicy.org/news/illinois-becomes-second-state-repeal-hiv-criminalization-laws
