What is anybody doing about this?
The issue of hiv and criminalization needs immediate collaborative review with the law enforcement, legal, medical and general communities all over the US as the laws are outdated, counterproductive and discriminative to people live with hiv.
Just more incentive to get an HIV tattoo, should I ever decide to become sexually active again.
As usual the people that always take the hardest hit are black,latino,& woman in general! The justice system has always been rigged for a certain few! I'm sure the majority of the infected people didn't even know it! Millions of people around the world are infected each year and unaware.I know ignorance is no excuse,but intentions should count for something .If someone has no medical history of having HIV or being told they were infected,then they should never be charged! Shame on you C.A.judges
I am still curious why the ones that claim to have been exposed are not charged ? Their as guilty as the one that's positive and having sex without divulging his or her HIV status if they had unsafe sex with the poz individual.

Let me see if I got this correct,its alright to infect people with hep-c,herpes,gonnerrhea,syphilis,but you can get 30years in jail even if you don't transmit H.I.V,thats why me being H.I.V, I don't have sex with anyone in the bible belt I live in, I believe you should always be up front with a potential partner,but one guy broke up with a person and he got revenge on him by filing charges,is this what we fought for,scary days in the gay community,sometime its good being old.
