Criminalizing AIDS

(I would just like to say that this paper includes some of my thoughts, but is not

completely my opinion. And that in some parts I am simply playing Devil?sAdvocate.)

In Africa, some time in the 1950?s the first person transmitted HIV to someone

else. Thus starting a chain reaction, which quickly led to the infection of thousands.

next. Should people who have gotten the HIV virus be able to criminally sue the

person from which they received it?

knew that, it could be considered as ?forseeability?. If you know that you have HIV

then you know that by sharing needles or having unprotected sex or exchanging fluids

somehow, the person you are engaging in these activities with, has a very high chance

of being infected. The criminalization of intentionally spreading AIDS remains a large

issue in the United States. As of September 1991, legislation criminalizing AIDS


terms of finding a cure. Many people have made the correlation between a drug

ansmission has been passed in 24 states. Among these states are California, Idaho,

committing what is essentially first degree murder. In addition, under the current New

precautions and without previously informing their partners about their HIV

with HIV. Crimalizing AIDS might just create a ?witch hunt? type atmosphere.
