The individual (or “victim”) had unprotected sex with “random guys” & now has HIV. That’s his burden. Him making a mistake in no way absolves the individual who knowingly passed it though.

Having a disease isn’t a crime. Knowingly exposing others to that disease without giving them the necessary information to make an informed decision to continue with the activity is.

Sounds like you’re blaming the victims here.

Jesus Christ. Talk about blaming the victim.

The onus should be on people with potentially deadly communicable diseases not to knowingly or recklessly spread those diseases. It is not the onus of responsible behavior on only one person, it is the acknowledgement that the more irresponsible behavior in this situation is on the person who knows that they have the…

That sounds an awful lot like victim-blaming. Sure, they could have been safer, but the person who knew they had a communicable disease has a legal and ethical obligation to inform the other person.

I’m relieved I’m not the only one with this confusion...

Am I supposed to be relieved by this? This man knowingly and willingly exposed his partners to a potentially life threatening disease without their consent. At least one contracted the disease.

Please forgive my stupidity, please, but if the guy had HIV and didn’t tell his partner, then proceeded to have either protected or unprotected sex how is this not reckless endangerment? Why would this conviction cause outrage among LBGTQ advocates when this:

Fuck this.

Sometimes the “coastal elites” argument has a lot of truth to it.

Or they believe Trump is better for the country. You may not agree with them, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they “don’t care”

Maybe you should have done something about the electoral college before the election if you really cared?

I’m starting to really dislike these crying pictures associated with trumps election. Wipe your f*cking eyes and do something about it. Fight.

Despite all the left wing protests, democracy has prevailed.
