OK, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that individuals in the HIV database wouldn't be ostracized in practice, whether now or at any point in the future. Still, they would have to live in fear of potentially being ostracized. Remember we are talking about potentially innocent, responsible people here who just happen to be HIV positive. Is the utility of making those people live in fear worth the potential of a reduction in HIV infections? Note that you haven't actually proven that such a database would actually reduce HIV infections, either.
