    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:

    1. Going to the doctor’s office and being injected with an HIV-laced needle.
    2. Getting food that contains an HIV-laced needle.
    3. Receiving a little pin-pick of HIV when you visit the grocery store

    There’s no transaction, sexual or otherwise, where you would put up with people knowingly giving you HIV.

    What the actual fuck?
