https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/true-crime/wp/2018/06/07/man-intentionally-contracted-hiv-so-he-could-expose-others-to-the-virus-prosecutor-says/

An Arkansas man said he intentionally contracted HIV in an attempt to expose others to the virus.

Stephen Koch, of Scranton, Ark., admitted in court earlier this week that he intentionally contracted the virus and intended to go on a date and lie about his status, according to the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. The 25-year-old also pleaded guilty to child pornography and drug-related charges.

The Democrat-Gazette reported that Benton County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Stuart Cearley told the court that Kochs admissions were uncovered during a police investigation.

Just so I can get my brain around this, did I understand the state correctly? Circuit Judge Robin Green asked the prosecutor, according to the newspaper. Mr. Koch intentionally contracted the HIV virus so he could then infect others?

Koch said it was true.

The judge then told him that such a plan would harm others, asking him: Was that the reason?

Again, Koch said yes.

Koch pleaded guilty to numerous drug charges; eight counts of distributing, possessing or viewing matter depicting sexually explicit conduct involving a child; and attempting to expose another person to HIV, according to court records.

He was sentenced to 50 years in prison as well as ordered to register as a sex offender and go through a offender treatment program in prison, according to the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

Why are we assuming the worst about this guy? He probably saw the South Park episode about Jared and didn't watch to the end, instead thinking "holy shit, I need to help everyone NOW".

I doubt it, in this case anyway. But I don't really know because I've never heard of anyone doing it.

There's this whole culture of people who want to contract diseases for the hell of it. There's a dude I've seen online who considered himself "Satan's Breeder" who would infect anyone who wanted to fuck with HIV. There's this whole culture of bug-chasers who are aiming to catch HIV, and it scares the shit out of me.

Minorities in LA country get worse education on STD prevention and Medz is perpetually upset about California... not really sure what this has to do with the topic at hand but hes a weird gimmick

The off topic article you posted said STDs, not HIV. Conservatives just love to twist things.
