> Thanks to California Senate Bill 329, as of January 1, 2017, it is no longer a felony for people who are HIV-positive to have unprotected sex and not disclose their status.

What do you think about this?

It was changed from a felony to a misdemeanour.

I don’t agree with that (in fact, that specific case is a crime similar to physical aggression in the country where I live).

Thanks for bringing this up btw, it’s a very interesting topic I hadn’t thought about.

You are welcome!

From what I remember there has been an increase in infected people after this bill. I cannot back it up at the moment, but you might want to look into it.

Why should someone that takes antiviral medicine and can't transmit HIV anymore have to disclose their status?
