There are a myriad of other deadly and cancer causing viruses being passed around, many by women. Are they tracked, prosecuted? NO. There is no concern about a woman with past cancer or current cancer having a cancer virus and spreading via sex. IMO, because it does not identify and keep homosexuals in their place. Give it some thought. Each state has a giant data-base of those with cancer viruses, and yet there is no legislation telling them to notify partners they have had cancer.
All tho These events are very sad and I feel sorry for both parties I think when you are HIV positive there comes a great deal of responsibility and what he did is irresponsible and should not of happen but it makes me sad to see all those women step up and accuse this man with so much hate and stigma i just hope there is a cure one day to stop this nonsense
Good points ! The power of accusations is astounding. The legal system is threatening and intimidating. Threats of extreme sentences scares most people into the plea bargain. Targeting HIV+ individuals like this only makes the ability of others to wrongly accuse without consequence increase. If someone want to get you, they can simply accuse you in open court of non-disclosure and tell the world your health status...and don't think that isn't what's happening in many of these cases.
After reading so many of these reports, it's easy to become inured to their stupidity. Short of tattooing a biohazard symbol on his forhead, how was anyone able to PROVE nondisclosure? Or, was this what the poor fellow got because he was stupid enough to admit it? This, at a time when nondisclosure should be IRRELEVANT and every one of those 26 women should have PRESUMED he had every STD imaginable. Why does the onus fall on the infected individual? Whom did he seroconvert? Is there proof?
