| Topic | HIV-positive man shares the abuse he gets on Grindr for disclosing his status |

Reminds me of this case: Consider Nick Rhoades, an HIV-positive gay man in Iowa, going about his life. Faithful adherence to his medications rendered Rhoades' HIV infection undetectable. Studies indicate those with undetectable virus are up to 96 percent less likely to transmit the virus to someone else. Rhoades arranged a sexual encounter with a man he met online. Neither of them spoke about HIV. When a friend later told the other man that Rhoades was HIV-positive, the man went to the county prosecutor and pressed charges. Despite the fact that Rhoades used a condom, had an undetectable viral load, and did not transmit the virus, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison for not disclosing his HIV status. After a year, the judge reconsidered Rhoades' sentence and released him -- but still required him to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2012/11/should-everyone-hiv-be-required-to-disclose-that-to-every-sexual-partner/265736/ --- "Beef is when I quote you, guaranteed to break the TOU." -The Notorious Shablagoo ...
