This story is blowing my mind. Thank you for having this session.
The Open Society Foundation came up with 10 reasons to oppose the criminalization of hiv exposure or transmission. What effect, if any, has this document had on the current laws in the US?
The same question for the UNAIDS document for June 2002 with is recommendations for protections and not criminalization, any effect of these on state laws?
1) I know someone who was in prison who got infected. My question is law enforcement being trained to address these kind of issues like Prison Rape, or med disbursal? 2) What training should police get on dealing with people in general. Saw on Cops where a guy is handed a pair of gloves after dealing with a bloody fight victim.
I would like a better understanding of these questions: 1) How did criminalizing people for not disclosing their status even begin? Because transmitting HIV was/is seen as equal to a death sentence? Are any other communicable diseases prosecuted this way? 2) Many gay men I know have passionate and angry views about this. Some were even infected by someone who lied or did not disclose. So this is an issue that many in my community are not interested in fighting against. How would you address their feelings and make a case to change their attitudes?
