Louis Gay decided to make his 2012 arrest for failing to disclose his HIV status to his boyfriend an opportunity to become an activist. Like most people that oppose criminalizing failure to disclose, Gay has the disease that he is against being required to tell people about and has a history of having sex with people without telling them he has it. On his blog, he defends himself with weak arguments like "I was prosecuted despite that I followed the advice given from health care organizations to HIV positive and HIV negative people in connection with oral sex...oral sex was considered safer sex between men despite use of condom and whether one has HIV or not, under certain precautions not to use toothpicks before sex, etc. All brochures and all international and national experts in HIV infection has always said the same thing: All the research shows that HIV transmission through oral sex is extremely rare and no common source of infection, so the investigation in this case shows." As you can see, Mr. Gay did not learn his lesson. The problem was that it is, as he admits, possible to give someone HIV by performing oral sex on them. That person has the right to know if they are at risk or not. Mr. Gay further defends himself by minimizing his behavior and calling his case "A threat to imprison me for something almost every gay does; oral sex without a condom." I'm sure he is right about that, but he was not being threatened with imprisonment for having oral sex without a condom. He was facing imprisonment for having oral sex without a condom while knowing he was HIV positive and not telling the man whose cock he was sucking. Like a lot of HIV offenders, Gay tries to distract people from the truth with smoke screens. These external maneuvers try to convince people that doing the right thing is not right because other might do the wrong thing in response.... #louisgay #hivandaids #oslo #easternnorway
