This is going to FORCE a discussion about HIV as a crime.
He had consensual sex and NONE of the women are HIV positive! READ that again! So what did he do wrong?
Yes, he is HIV+ and yes he had unprotected sex...just like millions of human do everyday...He is on medication and is undetectable...so what CRIME did be break and don't use the unprotected sex BS argument any more...EVERYONE has natural sex - if we didnt we would not be on the planet...Get over it...
Lets focus on the virus and what crime did he commit? Each partner has a role and part to play in with whom they have sex and what type of sex...condom..no condom...whips...chains...whatever...
If the public health officials want to spread the "TEST and know your status" then they have to support, at least to stop "Take the TEST and not risk arrest" That RISK is precluding your public health strategy more then many will acknowledge.
The HIV medical community has embraced the fact that we can control the disease if people know their status, and this strategy is panning out to be true.
PEP and PrEP are all over the news and communities...The question about an undetectable viral load is still a hot topic.
So how about the Public Health community getting on board and aggressively supporting the end of criminalization HIV The virus is not a crime.
Let the lawyers prove malicious intent in these cases...STOP telling putting people in jail for having sex!And lets not forget...STOP prosecuting men and women for FALSE ALLEGATIONS!!!
