I had something like that happen to me 10 years ago. In fact thats how I found out I was positive. I think ignorant people like some of these local pigs and judges should be educated or shot. If this still goes on now I have to say I would encourage people not to get tested.

It's BS to claim that after 25 years and billions of dollars of research, we don't know how HIV is transmitted. If you really beleive that, you should be the first to question the veracity of the HIV/AIDS hypothesis altogether. The argument that the guys "intent" was to do hard - nice to know that if you "attack" a law officer in TX with a feather, you can be put way for 35 years, too. This conviction is BS, and the HIV/AIDS hyposthesis itslef is to blame for this conviction.

It is unbelieveable that the court could make such a ruling without sufficent evidence to support their claim that someone was in harms way. The "intent" argument doesn't hold water either. It is just another example where ignorance suceeds over science. When will we ever learn.

Even people who are HIV+ are not sure, including myself, or do not know 100% which way the virus can be trasmitted to another person. Lets stop judging and pointing fingers lets all help each other understand this whole mess of the HIV virus.
