AI Summary
This bill, titled the "HIV Prevention Justice Act," makes several changes to Florida's laws related to HIV prevention and transmission. It is a felony for a person with HIV to donate human tissue to someone who is not HIV-infected, except if the donation is specifically for a recipient who knows the donor has HIV. It expands the unlawful acts by a person infected with a sexually transmissible disease, including requiring intent to transmit and a substantial risk of transmission. It also provides that certain actions, such as complying with treatment recommendations, do not establish the required intent. The bill also increases criminal penalties for certain violations related to sexually transmissible diseases.
