I used to volunteer on CIUT FM (UoT radio, 89.5 FM) on the Board of Directors as the Treasurer. One of the (many) interesting folk I met there was Sky Gilbert, an AIDS activist.
Today I read that he thinks the Hamilton man convicted of knowingly infecting women with AIDS should have had his case dismissed.
Why? Because of the moral hazard of testing for AIDS. If one is not tested and doesn’t know that one has AIDS, one can’t be convicted of knowlingly spreading AIDS. But if one is responsible and gets tested and knows, then one can get convicted and charged.
I really disagree with his stance, I think all prties must be responsible. But he raises an interesting point. In the context of Easter weekend, it gives me some stuff to chew on (aside from working through some issues in my personal life).
