Crown says it's 'implausible' that man knew his boyfriend had HIV quoting : Stuff

Crown says it's 'implausible' that man knew his boyfriend had HIVSUPPLIED Mikio Filitonga was found guilty of knowingly infecting partner with HIV. The suggestion a man knowingly had unprotected sex with his HIV positive partner is "implausible", a court has been told. "You must reject the defence contention that [the complainant] knew Mr Filitonga was HIV positive. "Does that sound like a man who knows his partner is HIV positive?" While the rash and fever were consistent with seroconversion - a period following contamination of the HIV virus where antibodies develop - he hadn't reported those symptoms to a doctor.




Murdoch referred to texts the man sent Filitonga asking what his sickness "really is". And they were not texts sent from someone who "vindictively fabricated" a lie after the relationship broke down, Murdoch said. The lawyer told the jurors they had to be certain the man didn't have unprotected sex with another HIV positive man - besides Filitonga - in six months before they met. A text he sent Filitonga in October, after the relationship broke down two months earlier read: "So please tell me now for real, have you got HIV or something? But the defence told the jury they cannot trust the man because his evidence was inconsistent and unreliable.

Lil Eazy-E says Knowingly Exposing Partners to HIV Should Remain a Felony!

Lil Eazy-E Changing HIV Law Would Be Crazy ... Exposing Partners IS a Felony! The idea is reportedly an effort to eliminate the stigma of being HIV positive, but Lil E -- an HIV activist -- thinks it's a Pandora's box. He adds ... "common sense" dictates leaving the law unchanged. EXCLUSIVELil Eazy-E is ripping California lawmakers for even thinking about lowering the penalty for knowingly exposing a sex partner to HIV, because doing so could give unscrupulous people a license to kill. Lil Eazy, whose father died from AIDS complications in 1995, says there's gotta be hard consequences ... and a proposed bill does the exact opposite.
