Criminal Exposure to HIV

Criminal Exposure to HIV

Do you think there should be laws on people who engage in Unprotected sex knowingly and who Knowingly infect people with the HIV virus. I've heard Numerous terms in the gay community about guys who Intentionally want to be Infected with the HIV virus( Bug chasers). Then there are people who want to give people the virus (Gift Givers0. Now due to this information wouldn't it be wise to have criminal laws for people who spread HIV knowingly? Since its a incurable disease which would eventually cause death. I know health professionals think that's a wrong way and it would prevent people from testing. I think the laws would be more centered towards people who don't know their status and people who do know there status but choose not notify the person that there with about there HIV status if there positive. Personally in my eyes that's Manslaughter or Involuntary Manslaughter which is a felony.

Deliberate withholding of HIV positive information of a partner should be punishable by imprisonment.
