Most states have laws in place that make it a felony to expose someone to their HIV infection without first notifying their partner of the risk. Why don't these laws make it a crime to expose others to infections like Chlamydia, Herpes, and HPV? Wouldn't it help to dispel the stigma that is associated with HIV? Since people are five times more likely to catch HIV when they have an STD, wouldn't this also help bring down the rates of all STD's including HIV? Just wanna add this one detail...HPV can cause cancer and be a silent killer. Other STD's can also cause infertility. HIV is now treatable though not curable and these STD's can increase a persons chances of contracting HIV. I just think that we need to do something to send a strong message to those people who know they are infected with whatever continuing to spread their misery.

Because they aren't as deadly.

There is much deliberation in the law if wilfully infecting a person with HIV is also punishable under manslaughter. However, i think it is the fact that HIV can kill you that makes it so serious in the eyes of the law.
