That's absurd. So what if nobody has to die from AIDS? It's still a life changing thing that means being on expensive medication permanently. Spreading it knowingly should be a crime. If I go around stabbing people in non-lethal locations, should I only be charged with a misdemeanor?

- r2_pilot 4y agoIt's outside of my risk profile, but the common refrain today is "undetectable == untransmissible", which is assured by routine medical checkups[where they try to detect viral load] and a daily dose of drugs[which suppresses the virus]. Some people may find that to be acceptable in order to have sex with someone carrying HIV. Safer sex should be encouraged in most circumstances.

(And stabbing someone non-lethally can also be a misdemeanor, by the sounds of it: https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/defense/penal-code/245a1/ https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/defense/penal-code/245a1/)
