If a patient with HIV/AIDS was found to have infected a healthy person, there would be a penalty, he said without elaborating
Samhita, a blogger at Feministing, analyzed the proposal in a great way:
What I don't see is how is this preventative (the only-ONLY-effective solution to stop the spread of HIV), if the purpose is merely to punish people after they have infected someone. Are they planning on monitoring these people at all times? That is enough resources surely to put into safe sex education, creating a healthier culture around sex, while having all types of support programs for "high-risk" populations.
