But remember this legal gem from CA, which seems to endorse the intentional spread of HIV.
"California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law Senate Bill (SB) 239, which reduces penalties for knowingly exposing a sexual partner to HIV.
Under current California law, it is felony offense punishable by 3 to 8 years in prison. The new law, which was signed by Brown on Oct. 6 [2017] and takes effect January 1, changes this to a misdemeanor, carrying a 6-month prison term — the same punishment as knowingly exposing someone to other communicable diseases.
The law also reduces the penalty for knowingly donating blood infected with HIV from a felony to a misdemeanor."
