Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill Friday that lowers from a felony to a misdemeanor the crime of knowingly exposing a sexual partner to HIV without disclosing the infection.

The measure also applies to those who give blood without telling the blood bank that they are HIV-positive.

More at the link but how messed up is that? You know you're exposing someone else to HIV but do not disclose it and infect that person and get away with nothing more than what a speeding ticket offense would give you. Is that really the best way they found to care for HIV patients? Surely there is an extent to how liberal you can be.
