A few of these comments are repetitious spam and should be deleted.

Atripla is a fixed dose combination drug for the treatment of HIV infection. It combines Gilead Sciences's tenofovir and emtricitabine (already available in the anti-HIV combination Truvada) with Bristol-Myers Squibb's efavirenz into a fixed-dose pill.

If you know you are HIV positive and you expose someone without thier concent, you should be prosecuted, no if's and's or but's! The one thing that we, as the HIV infected community, can do to stop this disease is to stop the spread. I don't think it matters how infectious you are or whether or not you take meds every day or even if you are using a condom…the uninfected community has a right to expect that they will be notified by someone who knows they're infected. If for no other reason than to let them know thier risk factor and their need for testing. Don't change a law that makes those who knowingly expose without disclosure responsible for the risk they bring to the unsuspecting.

Whatever. We need SEX-ED. I just found out the largest HIV dating&support site Positivefish. com. It has more than 500,000 members!
OMG! Why so many guys and girls on the site are very sexy? Why so many people infect HIV?

If it's not possible to eliminate the HIV law in Iowa, amend it to add intent; probably most persons in Iowa that know their HIV status (and you have to know it to be prosecuted under the law) are under treatment and extremely low infection risk. When I was considered for prosecution under the law I was defending myself from an assault–I bit someone on the finger (he stuck his finger in my mouth, actually). Now, it's not likely I could infect someone in the normal way, let alone a finger bite and yet THREE of Johnson County assistant DA's recommended I be prosecuted under Iowa's HIV law.
