Not clear to me if the law extends to those who transmit to informed partners, v partners kept in ignorance of a positive HIV status.

It was my understanding the level of offense was reduced to a misdemeanor.

The article posted has a headline that reads:

California lowers penalty for knowingly exposing partners to HIV
That's not "decriminalizing," although IMO it's wrong....even if HoseHummer's partner did it.
