HIV-Infected Man Charged With Assault

[Calliander]

Immaterial. The fact that you broke it due to contact beyond the scope of your consent is all that matters for purposes of proving assault.

That's interesting to know. Thank you.

[Klonoa]

Fuck this planet.

[FuryFox]

Use Trojans. Those things never break.

Maybe, but they smell nasty.

I've actually heard people say, "if I get HIV, I'm spreading it around as much as possible."

Words cannot describe how much I hate people like that.

Who would say that?!? And why!?! As a drunken joke, maybe, but...

Some faulty people think that when the world bites them, they have to take it out on as many people as possible.

AMEN! I use condoms everytime even with my boyfriends because you never know what they might bring home to you after a "night out". I have assorted flavor/scent ones now which I love!

Are there laws governing sex? Personal things like that are YOUR responsibility, nobody else's. It sucks that these women might have AIDS, but I have no real sympathy for them since they fucked some dude without a condom. They made that choice, he didn't force them. How long they knew him for is irrelevant.

Exactly.

So if you go to a restaurant and the waiter poisons your food and as a result you die, it is your fault because you did it willingly and should have known better? Geez.

A waiter poisoning your food is an extremely random and freak occurance. People transmitting HIV via sex happens every day, all the time, right now. There are millions of people in this country with the virus. It's an extremely well known situation, and people are generally quite educated on all the risks of casual sex. Good luck finding an adult in this country who honestly thinks casual, unprotected sex is safe.

If a girl meets a guy and has sex with him within moments of them meeting, then she knows what kind of guy he is. She's also in control of her body the entire time. If she just had a little self respect, she wouldn't be in this situation. Imagine that.

I can see 2 situations where I would feel a bit of pity for these women:

1) They asked the guy, point blank "Do you have the HIV or any dieseases?" and he lied with a "No.".

2) They had protected sex every time and just got unlucky.

Otherwise, it's tough empathize with them. It's like listening to someone who is upset and is telling you they just lost their life savings in Vegas while gambling. You knew there was a risk, however small, that this would happen.

You gamble long enough, you are going to lose. Shitty that some don't learn that until they've basiclly crapped out with their lives, but such is life.

I don't know how you guys do it, but when I know I'm going to have sex with a woman, I'll get tested, ask her to do the same, and then use condoms every time.

There's still a chance I could get HIV, there always is with sex, but I'm going to do everything in my power (ask them, get tested with them, use condoms all the time) to not go out like Willy Lumplump.

And I roll with Trojan Extra Strength with Spermacide, which has never broken nor caused me to slip one past the goalie in the 5 hole. I highly reccomend them.

People have unprotected sex all the time, I think it's reasonable for them to assume that the person they're screwing hasn't got a deadly disease.

The absolute last thing that is, is reasonable.

So poisoning someone's drink shouldn't be considered murder?

If you know that it is possible that this mythical poison can be in drinks, and you don't bother to ask if it is, nor take the simple steps that would reduce the likelihood of you getting poisoned to under 10%, or go and test the drink out before you drink it, you took just trusted someone with your life, played the odds and got a shit hand.

I work under the assumption that every woman on this earth has The HIV until they prove otherwise and, amazingly, I'm HIV Free.

LOL! Do they taste just as bad?
