That's so sad :/

The whole aids/hiv situations is awful.. I know there is people out there that contract hiv/aids and do the right thing. But i'm sure for every person who treats their disease in a respectful,honest,and truthful way there is one person who is careless,reckless, and selfish. For this reason there needs to be a much better way of protecting those are not affected with this disease. Sure it's not fair to put a persons disease on blast to others. But currently the system in place isn't working.

This is just too sad.... it makes me sick.. I Just dont understand why someone would rape someone anyway then on top of things try to pass his disease to an innocent person.

let me tell you, I ever catch some motherfucker trying to pass around HIV by raping women I will destroy his life and do the time.

I heard of another case here in Europe, a virgin 17 yrs old girl got raped by a guy and contracted HIV - it's terrible - now beside the fact she was traumatize by that man and she would never fully recover, she has to slowly wait for her death.. :(
