Just because Lee happens to be on TV you think he needs to answer your questions? Most of which are none of your business. What Lee decides to disclose is completely up to him, not you. You speak as though he has some kind of obligation to produce the information you nauseatingly listed. You claim to be an HIV/AIDS advocate? Demanding dates and names and any other piece of information regarding this. Do the HIV/AIDS people a favor and find a new hobby. I am speaking both to your so called advocacy and your journalism. You sir are a joke. Fade away.

Sad, but the focus of your questions appear to be a dirt-monger, looking to explode the evidence until you've picked it apart for the piece to fit your agenda. The ex is apparently doing time. And you want his name? What for? So you can plaster that in your next article? Then his time isn't so much discreet penance as a search-term-curse to follow him around for as long as G00gle or the way-back machine want to wave his scarlet letter. Two people made a mistake: one concealed their status, and the other blindly accepted it. The end result is something no one should ever have to live with, on either side. Beyond that, there is a level of privacy for the parties involved that you are really not entitled to investigate. You really have not validated any 'red flags' so much as try to bolster support for your vigilante journalism. I don't like the idea someone with HIV was sent to prison, without all the details being known, but I do know there are some people who deserve it too. The fallout out is that paints us as a natural criminal for simply living with the disease, and prisons are not exactly know for their appropriate management of hiv-positive inmates. We all lose.

Excellent work on this and thank you for digging into this way too simplistic interview! Reading the initial article/interview left me, as a poz person, feeling sick to my stomache. Also felt that things really didn't ad up and that the articlle really opens a huge subject with no sense of social responsibility or followup. The criminalisation issue is so complicated for all of us, that it requires complicated questions and a complicated adress. Thanks for getting the ball rolling.
