For
Men And Women Make Vows To Each Other To Be Faithful And If One Steps Outside The Marriage And Brings Their Spouse A Potentially Life Thretening Disease Such As AIDS I Personally Think They Should Face Jail Time .

 My philosophy on this is: Take the cheating partner to an old wooden barn, nail his/her winky to the floor set the barn on fire and give your partner a dull butter knife. He/she will think twice next time I assure you.

 I actually there is a law. I believe if you are fully aware of your condition, and you commit an act that you know will deliberatley give that person your condition as well, you will go to jail, for what though? I'm not sure. This is much like, say, you had tuberculoesis (spelling help, please?) and you walked into a crowded room, and purposely started coughing up a storm, you'd get incarcerated.

 I think that there should be sort of punishment because that would just be proof that they cheated but then they would have to test everyone before they got married to prove that they are clean before the marriage.

 Of course what did the spouse do to be sentenced to a horrible and deadly disease and to live her life cast out of society??

 You know what the way i see it is that protected or not protected this a form of murder. I see someone has said its not a violent crime, hello this person who got it is slowly but surely going to die. Thats murder.like it or not . Yes i agree people these days need to be careful when it comes to having sex,but come on aids forsure there should be some heavy consequences.

 I don't think they should be put in jail,but if the man/woman cheats, and giving there spouse a life threating disese,they should be forced to pay all the hospital bills,and if that person dies,they should also pay for the funeral

 Wow, that seems harsh! But I think there are laws already on the books that make it illegal to have unsafe sex with an unknowing partner when you know you have HIV. Jail time is a possibility but sense this is not a violent crime most offenders don't do jail time. I would hope that marriage partners would have full disclosure between them. If not then this marriage is doomed from the start.

 Good question I kind of road the fence there for a second wondering how to answer this and what side I would fall on. Then it came to this " For better or for worse:" you married him or her, you better work some things out. Our jails would be fuller if this was a crime.

 I am against that unless the person knows that he has HIV and gives it to you.Because how can you prove it was the man or if it was the woman who picked up HIV hard to prove in court!

 You can go to jail if you KNOW you have HIV and have sex with someone. But if YOU know your spouse has it, and you have Sex anyways, its YOUR problem. But their is laws on that, unless you or your spouse did not know they had an STD

 They should not be punished because sometimes someone can contract an STD like AIDS from blood transfusion or injections therefore the 0ther partner should accept it and adopt positive living.It is better to seek for treatment than to think of punishing your partner because it doesn't change your HIV status.

 Nope, its your choice to have sex with them, If you ask them if they have an STD and they lie then you should at least be able to sue them.
