In a world-wide first, a Canadian man has been charged with murder when he failed to disclose his status and infected two sexual partners with HIV.
52-year-old Johnson Aziga (he's the looker pictured left) was diagnosed with HIV in 1996. The court has since tried to police his bodily fluids by twice ordering him to disclose his status to sexual partners and to always use a condom. But the court found that Aziga continued to fuck without condoms, and that more than failing to disclose his status, he actively lied on multiple occasions. Two of his former luvahs have since died of AIDS. Five others have tested positive.
A leading Candian HIV/AIDS advocate is calling foul, saying that the murder conviction will foster "HIV panic." He says that we need "education" and "collective responsibility" rather than 'finger-pointing." All that aside, though, lying about your status when asked is pretty fucked up. Then again, it takes two to tango, even if the rose is all AIDSy and shit.
