For years, Tennessee has required anyone convicted of prostitution while HIV-positive to register as a sex offender for life. To settle DOJ and ACLU discrimination suits, the state has agreed to reverse course.
How I personally feel about people who aren’t careful about spreading hiv is different than what I think policy should be. Policy should be what works to prevent the spread of illness. Sometimes that means doing “nice” things for people whose choices we despise.
I think that anyone with HIV who engages in sexual activity for any reason without explicit fully-informed consent is reprehensible.
How would you feel in any other context:
There’s no transaction, sexual or otherwise, where you would put up with people knowingly giving you HIV.
What the actual fuck?
