Doin' Time For Spreading Disease
This is going to be somewhat controversial. Partly because it has a slight "yuck factor" and partly because it goes against accepted wisdom.
The crime for which Joe (not his real name but the name I will use) is going to spend time in jail: having sex with someone while he was knowingly HIV positive and denying that he was HIV positive. Or to put it short... giving someone the HIV. He reasoned that he thought withdrawing before ejaculating would be ok.
On one hand it can be argued that his going to jail is a travesty of justice and such a massive wrong it is almost incomprehensible. On the other hand, it can be argued that going to jail is totally deserved and a sign the gummit is doing something right. And both hands will be shown below.
The essence of what the man has been found guilty of is, knowingly risking the passing on of a virus from himself to another person.
This is, in essence, no different than a person with a virus going to work while they are sick. After all, they are also knowingly risking the passing on of their virus to all their co-workers.
It could be said that this case is different because the HIV is with you for life once you have it, whereas a normal cold or flu isn't.
Fine. Then think of the HIV like the Herpes virus - either genital herpes or cold sore herpes. Both are with the person for life. Does that mean we should jail a person for giving someone else the cold sore virus?
Another argument is that the HIV can kill you whereas the herpes virus cannot.
And here is where I have a MAJOR disagreement. For there is NO EVIDENCE that HIV kills anyone. There is NO EVIDENCE that HIV causes AIDS. So it therefore stands to reason, Joe is going to jail for passing on a harmless virus.
How can I say HIV does not cause AIDS?
Several reasons.
Reason # 1: Disease and its causes and effects is a hobby of mine. Stemming back over two decades to high school, when I wrote a research report on a newly discovered syndrome which involved loss of blood supply to the buttocks and thighs. This knowledge enables me to look upon the HIV/AIDS myth to see it for what it is.
Reason # 2: Not all people with AIDS have the HIV and not all people with HIV develop AIDS. It therefore stands to reason, that if 50% of AIDS sufferers do NOT have the HIV, then HIV is not the cause of AIDS. For how can a virus you do not have cause you to develop AIDS? Answer: It cannot.
Reason # 3: HIV can only be tested for AFTER you are immune to it. So the moment a test can reveal you had it, is the moment it cannot do anything any more because you are totally immune to it. This means, the very instant the HIV sticks its head out, it is destroyed by your body's immune system. No "ifs" "buts" or "maybes". Hence, you cannot be harmed by something you are immune to.
Reason # 4: The man to claim that HIV caused AIDS is also the man who invented a way to test for HIV immunity. And he subsequently made hundreds of millions of dollars licensing his patented test to doctors around the globe. Besides him, NO OTHER Doctor has been able to categorically link HIV to AIDS. But they do keep repeating that there is a link - even though no-one can find a link.
Reason # 5: The man who was the only one to link HIV to AIDS and who made millions of dollars from selling the test he invented, is also behind the prescribed AIDS treatment known as AZT. So now he makes gazillions of dollars from this chemical.
Reason # 6: AZT kills your immune system and not the HIV. The sole role of AZT is to kill immune system cells in a shotgun approach. The logic is, by killing millions of immune system cells, some of those cells will be the ones in which the HIV is hiding. So millions of perfectly healthy immune system cells are killed in an effort to kill a small few that contain a virus which would be destroyed by the body's immune system the moment it left the cell. Also, all the while AZT is being taken, the body is STILL immune to the HIV - you cannot be re-infected by the HIV.
Reason # 7: There are specialists whose job is the study of virus diseases and the like, and THEY also consider the "HIV causes AIDS" claim to be a myth - even the biggest hoax perpetrated on man.

What this all boils down to is... Joe is going to go to jail for passing on a harmless thing no scientist has been able to isolate to prove its existence. And which, from all observations, doesn't even make a person sick in any way, shape or form. And when tested for, over 60 different things can give a positive HIV result.
Pretty harsh punishment, right? And consider... if he can do time for passing on a harmless thing, when will we start seeing lawsuits filed against people for passing on cold and flu bugs... for coming to work knowing they are sick and infecting their co-workers. And when will we begin to see similar lawsuits filed against the parents of children who infect other children with Measles, Mumps, Chicken Pox, etc.?
Don't laugh. This "finding" has set a precedence. Has opened up the can of worms that is lawsuits for making someone sick. Mark my words. We will now start to see more of this.
Anyway, now we come to the other hand. The hand that says jail time is justified.
Joe, who thinks HIV will bring about AIDS, lied about having a positive HIV test and deliberately had unprotected sex with a woman. So in his mind, and as far as he was concerned, he was going to inflict harm on this person on purpose. The fact no harm is actually done doesn't negate the attempt.
And that is, knowingly infringing upon another person's property rights by use of deception.
To me, the attempt is no different than any other attempted crime - be it an attempted bashing, rape, murder, or whatever. That no harm was done doesn't change the intention behind the act. And in this case, he INTENDED to do harm - much like a killer might intend to kill by firing a gun, even if the gun is not loaded or the bullet does not fire.
By Joe's deception, the girl was not able to make "good for her" decisions with regard to having protected sex. And this is Joe's major crime to me... deceiving with the intent to cause long term harm.
