This is really the crux of it. It basically allows HIV+ gay men and MtF transgenders -- who are the primary ones being charged with these felonies -- to no longer even worry about the consequences of having reckless, unprotected sex. Actually studies show women and POC (in particular black people and latinos) are disproportionately targeted by these laws HIV criminalization disproportionately affects women and people of color. Forty-three percent of those criminalized under Californias HIV-specific criminal laws are women, despite comprising only 13 percent of people living with HIV in the state. Blacks and Latinos make up two-thirds of people who came into contact with the criminal justice system based on their HIV status, despite comprising only about half of people living with HIV/AIDS in California. <cite>lowtides posted [p:887979533] in Knowingly ...
