    I think that law is acceptable. It says it is your moral and legal obligation to inform and that is correct if you ask me.
  •  
    I also believe that you should let these people know instead of not telling them. You should feel responsible if you have it, to tell them you have it.
  •  
    Let me know your opinion.

    The law states that there has to be intentional transmission of this virus in order to criminalize people yet in the article it states that Plendl"s hospital test came up negative. There was no transmission of the virus and the man was in prison and is now a registered sex offender.
  •  
    If the viral load at the time of intercourse was undetectable and he took precautions to be safe on top of that he should have not been found guilty of the charges especially since there was no way of either of them knowing if Rhoades was infected and if Plendl did not contract the HIV virus according to hospital tests
  •  
    I agree with the law and that you need to let people know but they used protection and and they didn't know at the time so Nick shouldn't be in prison. The law says it needs to be intentional but it wasn't intentional.
  •  
    Nick Rhoades stated that he was protected and that he shouldn't be getting any sort of punishment but I can see that he did a class B felony crime because he did pass it on but for him being protected he wasn't trying to do any harm he doesn't deserve the punishment.
