Quote:Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill Friday that lowers from a felony to a misdemeanor the crime of knowingly exposing a sexual partner to HIV without disclosing the infection.

The measure also applies to those who give blood without telling the blood bank that they are HIV-positive.

Modern medicine allows those with HIV to live longer lives and nearly eliminates the possibility of transmission, according to state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and Assemblyman Todd Gloria (D-San Diego), authors of the bill.

“Today California took a major step toward treating HIV as a public health issue, instead of treating people living with HIV as criminals,” Wiener said in a statement. “HIV should be treated like all other serious infectious diseases, and that’s what SB 239 does.”

Supporters of the change said the current law requires an intent to transmit HIV to justify a felony, but others noted cases have been prosecuted where there was no physical contact, so there was an argument intent was lacking.

Brown declined to comment on his action.

HIV has been the only communicable disease for which exposure is a felony under California law. The current law, Wiener argued, may convince people not to be tested for HIV, because without a test they cannot be charged with a felony if they expose a partner to the infection.

“We are going to end new HIV infections, and we will do so not by threatening people with state prison time, but rather by getting people to test and providing them access to care,” Wiener said.

Supporters of the bill said women engaging in prostitution are disproportionately targeted with criminal charges, even in cases where the infection is not transmitted.

Republican lawmakers including Sen. Joel Anderson of Alpine voted against the bill, arguing it puts the public at risk.

“I’m of the mind that if you purposefully inflict another with a disease that alters their lifestyle the rest of their life, puts them on a regimen of medications to maintain any kind of normalcy, it should be a felony,” Anderson said during the floor debate. “It’s absolutely crazy to me that we should go light on this.”

Anderson said the answer could be to extend tougher penalties to those who expose others to other infectious diseases.

California is really a communist hellhole. Now you can intentionally spread deadly diseases to others and suffer no consequence. Heck, let's not stop there. Let's make throwing vials of Ebola at people legal too! After all, Ebola is also treatable with modern medicine.

I'm already making plans to permanently leave this state. I am literally living in the House of Soddom. Never-ending tax increases, paying for convicts to get tranny jobs, giving illegals more rights than real American citizens, and now the pozz is making sure phags can go around and infect each other with minimal repercussions. I swear, God must have a massive meteor that will crush this state. I want to get out before God's wrath is unleashed on the Satanic filth that runs this hellhole.

Let's get to the truth of this issue. They claim it's about the law targeting women because actual whores get charged with failing to disclose they're disease-ridden worn-out husks.

(^ and on that, so? Such women deserve to be "targeted." On that logic rape laws ought to be struck down because mostly men get charged with rape and that's unfair. Maybe committing assault should be punished regardless of demographic?)

What it's really running cover for are gays. This is to protect bug chasers and other nefarious scum from just prosecution. In western societies, homosexuals now are truly a protected class and above the law. Gays are no longer obliged to obey the law, and where there are laws that prohibit any hind of homosexual behavior, they will be removed for being "unfair."

Sodomy is indeed our highest moral value in The Current Year. How long until the collapse?

The democrat senator made one arguement that it will encourage those to get tested without the fear of being charged later down the road if they fail to disclose their status.
Where this fails is that its thinking of the marginal few who meet this category. Most people would want to know their status.

THese arguements will open up many other legal cases. For instance, statutory rape. A girl doesn't disclose her age and she looks of age. You are going to be ruined with a sex offender status your whole life. They are going to have to really think this over.

Not gonna happen. This law is clearly intended to protect phaggot bug chasers and give them cover when the give the bug to another phag. There is no way in hell that in 2017 California a straight man will be given any quarter in a borderline case of legal age/consent laws. No matter if the man's intentions were good or not, intentions don't matter to these wicked people. All that matters is the narrative! That's how they can get bug chaser laws like this passed, under the guise of "fighting against homophobia" or "women's rights". The first thing you have to know about SJW is that they always lie. Facts aren't just a problem, they are to be completely ignored in this alternative reality and declared discriminatory!
