Dim Hypocrisy: California Edition

2019: CA changes law decriminalizing infecting someone knowing with the HIV virus.
2020: CA declares state emergency when Corona Virus found. One death is too many!

I did not know Kalifornia decriminalized knowingly infecting another person lwith HIV. With or without consent? Any reference article???

Thank You - EL.

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.
