We’ve come a long way in the fight against AIDS, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still lots of opportunities for terrible AIDS takes. Vox found one such opportunity today and decided to run with it:
Twenty-six states impose criminal penalties for knowingly exposing someone to HIV. But these laws make people with the virus vulnerable to stigma and abuse. https://t.co/mu3NzkIQBC

The only thing hotter than that take is the ratio Vox has got cookin’.
I'm just here for the ratio party

Hi, bisexual person here.
I've dated someone who had HIV. If both partners consent, precautions can be taken to avoid infection.
The only abuse here is giving someone a life-threatening STD without them knowing just because the law doesn't punish you for it.
Be better.

Are we going to argue that Sex Offenders shouldn't have to register next? That creates a stigma for them too.

I think they just sided with a disease, guys.

Not wanting predominantly gay men to be exposed to a communicable disease is problematic now.
By law they should have to only use sPonGebOb tExt from now on.
