you just met someone at a bar and you don't use condoms? not letting the guy off the hook but what about personal responsibility?

That's your first reaction to hearing that a guy knowingly transmitted HIV to another person??

Not this poster but yes, it's what I thought too. The article I read said they had sex several times during the weekend. In all those times having sex, the victim didnt ask the man to wear a condom? Not even the first time they had sex? WTF

PP here. Yes, that's exactly what i thought, you gotta always protect yourself the best way you know how and in this case, it's pretty simple..use a condom when you're with a stranger.

That's my first though, also. This is not 1985, in the days before AIDS was a known danger; anyone who is not using condoms is foolish. I do feel sorry for the women.

I'm not saying that I wouldn't, even two seconds later, think "wow, I wonder why she didn't have him use a condom." But my FIRST thought is "what a sick person to knowingly infect someone with HIV." That was my FIRST thought.

I don't think it is confirmed he infected her just that he exposed her. HIV is actually fairly hard to get from hetero sex.

Ah. I assumed since they used the term "knowingly transferred" rather than "knowingly exposed" that she was infected. I hope it's the case that she was just exposed but not infected.

I'm totally intrigued by the legalities of this. Does this mean that if you are HIV positive, you have to disclose that to any sexual partner? Or does it mean that you have to use protection? Do you have to use protection during intercourse, or oral sex as well? What if you offer protection and the partner refuses? Does this apply to other sexually transmitted disease, or just HIV?

He's sick, disgusting, and cruel.

She's an idiot.
