Is this manslaughter?
Regardless, this is something people do need to know up front. If the stigma is an issue (and it is), then focus needs to be put on public education in regards to HIV/AIDS. People should know exactly what the risks are, how it's transmitted, and most importantly that HIV+ people are still people and capable of being relatively safe under the right conditions.
But "god hates fags" so you know that shit won't be universally taught in public schools for at least the next decade or two.
