"Those who would trade freedom for security deserve neither."
Posting data about people with HIV would be an erosion of freedoms in my book, by taking a little shot at privacy laws. I agree with posting those who commited criminal acts, because when you commit a crime, you forfeit certain freedoms. I do not support taking privacy away from those who did not commit a crime.
I also agree with bzbatl. I have no diseases because of the choices I made. If you want to stay diseae free, practice safe sex. The only true form of safe sex is the marriage bed (not saying I waited, but this is still a true statement). Any risk involved with sex, whether it be unwanted pregnancy or std's, is assumed when the choice is made to have sex.
If you got HIV, you chose to. You might not have known that was the choice you were making when you chose to have sex with them, but you were choosing all of the consequenses of haveing sex with them. If this was not a consequense you were willing to bear, you should not have chosen to have sex.
Eroding freedoms is no substitute for personal responsibility.
