Hell no that’s not what I said, and not only that my argument was far more clear then that.

Basically to sum it up, if you are out there carrying HIV and it can be proven that you purposely slept with others with the intent of infecting others then that’s what I would consider murder.

Now I think it would also be a good idea to test anybody sexually active from time to time for HIV because it is something that if not tested will spread to others exponentially infecting 100's. I can infect 2 girls who will then have sex with 2 guys each who then go and infect 2 each themselves. Just from that the virus I carried has just infected that’s me infecting 14 plus people in what could be the short span of a couple of weeks.

Actually it wasn't more clear than that, but I understand it now. As for periodic testing....I think that's what the CDC is getting at with that recommendation. And I agree with it as long as people are given a reasonable method for declining the test.
