Since the first HIV non-disclosure prosecution in 1989, there have been over 120 prosecutions. A high pro-
portion of accused has either pleaded guilty to, or been convicted at trial, of serious criminal offences, often resulting in harsh sentences and sex offender registration. In the majority of convictions, there was NO TRANSMISSION of HIV to the complainant.
The law states that you only have disclouse your STATUS if you are having HIGH RISK SEX. This includes vaginal or anal unprotected sex, only.
Many people ask what is the crime the TRANSMISSION of HIV or is it just touching someone that is positive. In Canada if you are HIV positive its a crime to be touched by another person without telling first you are HIV positive. I guess the HIV population needs to have a scarlet letter tattooed onto their faces.

ReplyDeleteI believe in this law, but i do not believe the government or the police or taking the right steps in preventing STIGMA and HATE crimes that are occurring against people that do do not break the law.
ReplyDeleteThe law is being misinterpreted by judges and police and the general public.
The entire HIV population is being criminalized by people that won't be tested for HIV. A very some portion of the known 60,000 HIV positive people have not disclosed (129). Now what about the one third of the population that have HIV but won't be tested and fuck freely, with no Harassment Discrimination?
I disclose my friends disclose, we are gay, out of those 129 cases over 90% are STRAIGHT WOMAN AND MEN FIGHTING IT OUT.
GET OUT OF MY FRIENDS AND MY GAY MOTHER FUCKING LIVES YOU STRAIGHT BASTARDS
