Which was more reason they could have reacted that way.
but you can give it to other people, and it was a death sentence...99.98% of people who catch Covid, don't die from it.
Most people aren't going to jail, because they don't know who actually gave it to them. Also that's a recent occurrence.
Reacted what way?
People couldnt give others HIV by pure coincidence. It isnt contagious, so its not a comparison that holds water.
What if HIV positive peeps in 80s and 90s said they dont have to tell their new partners they have HIV because HIPPA?
Would you support that?
