[Viva] Criminalization of HIV

[Denise Becker]

I have been asked to do a blog as a woman living with HIV regarding the
recent Supreme Court decision that now criminalizes someone who does not
disclose their status unless they have an undetectable viral load AND a
condom is used.

Does anyone have an opinion on this issue that they would care to share
anonymously or otherwise?  Please state whether you wish to be quoted as an
anonymous source or otherwise.

You may want to think:

1.  Is criminalization the right response or is this a health issue?
2.  Can a woman be in charge of condom use?
3.  Do you believe an undetectable viral load AND condom use is the right
response?
4.  How do you think the younger generation of women who have been HIV
positive from birth will deal with this situation?
5.  Do you feel empowered, the same or worried about the Supreme Court
decision?

Thanks and please try to reply as soon as possible.
Denise
