Unreal.

So they they do this, but they make people wear condoms in porn?

There is a reason that it was a felony, and it was because of the AIDS 'scare'- because AIDS was scary. What other STD kills you in a couple of years with no treatment- and has no cure? Syphilis can be treated. Hepatitis comes close, so let's up the penalty for that.

That's covered in the link. Because intentional hepatitis transmission is a misdemeanor, AIDS should be too - say the loony left.

It is literally the equivalent of if stabbing someone was a misdemeanor and shooting someone was a felony, making shooting someone a misdemeanor to level it out.

What the absolute eff...

If I wasn't going to Cali before, sure as hell aint now.

Ridiculous. They already have AIDs revenge transmissions already with it being a felony. The people contracting it suffer sever mental disorders as a backlash of having it. Not all, infact it is a small percentage, but when we are talking about deadly diseases, it's no laughing matter.

People claim it's not okay to judge someone because of HIV/AIDs. I agree, but they're still responsible for maintaining and not promoting the disease. Everyone should wear condoms unless you want a child, but giving it to someone on purpose "just because" screw that. Lock emup and throw away the key for murder.

Sounds like we should up the penalty for intentional hepatitis to me then

What the fu...

For real? 1 in 400 and they would allow 90 percent or more, if they qualify?

Nuts...

Important footnote - HIV is less deadly than it was 25 years ago, and some of the other STDs are much harder to treat now than they used to be. We could be heading to a point where HIV is not the scariest STD.

That doesn't excuse anything. It seems reasonable that intentionally infecting someone else with any serious disease should be a felony. Need to define intent carefully, but if it's an STD and you have it, having sex with a person without telling them is intent.

It’s amazing what the thought process is that goes on in the progressive brain.

6 months in jail for intentionally infecting someone with HIV either via sex or donating blood, but 1 year in jail for not using a senior citizens preferred pronoun.
