Didn't California make this a slap on the wrist misdemeanor?
Yes but the law itself had some criticism. It was mostly done so sex workers wouldnt be getting felonies.

If you are a sex worker and you solicit someone and youre HIV positive, youre guilty of a felony before any contact occurs, said California state Sen. Scott Wiener (D), a co-sponsor of the bill. These laws are so draconian that you can be convicted of a felony and sent to state prison even if you engage in behavior that creates zero risk of HIV infection.

basically the law as it was written could give someone a felony even if no contact occurred yet. Even by making the base a misdemeanor youll still be able to charge the person with more on a case by case basis. This just makes it so its not a black and white instant felony.
