Senate Bill 239 in California was signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown and created by Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and Assemblyman Todd Gloria (D-San Diego). The bill instead makes the intentional transmission of an infectious or communicable disease a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than 6 months. This includes INTENTIONALLY donating HIV infected blood and sperm. Previously the law made it a felony punishable by imprisonment for 3, 5, or 8 years in the state prison to INTENTIONALLY expose another person to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Exposing people to HIV is not a victimless crime. 1000s of people die each year from AIDS. SB 239 essentially decriminalizes intentionally infecting others with AIDS without their consent or knowledge.
