Repealing the prohibition on an individual from knowingly transferring or attempting to transfer the human immunodeficiency virus to another individual.
AI Summary
This bill repeals the prohibition on an individual from knowingly transferring or attempting to transfer the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to another individual. The current law makes it a misdemeanor punishable by a fine or imprisonment for an individual with HIV to knowingly transfer or attempt to transfer the virus to another person. This bill removes that prohibition and decriminalizes the act of knowingly transferring HIV.
