The police are taking the wrong track! It is PRIVATE MEDICAL INFORMATION, until they can protect HIV Positive people from discrimination and hate crimes. This is another example of the discrimination we face in our community. The law states you must tell someone if you are HIV positive prior to any physical/sexual contact - not prior to asking someone to have sex with you. This is a blatant violation of human rights. Plain, and simple.
When will they learn.The more you criminalize HIV positive folks the less folks that assume they are negative will get tested out of fear of going to jail.
WTF!? Most HIV crimanal law requires disclosure prior to the sex act. Asking someone if they want to have sex doesn't mean you're not going to disclose your status. Amazing!!!

The criminal justice system here in Terrebonne Parish is riddled in corruption and discrimination. I was NOT convicted of the HIV charge. all charges were dropped after the absurdity of the event was brought to light. Never the less my professional reputation locally has been ruined. Publication of the accusations completely ruined my chances at any anonimity. i am distraught.
