A few days ago, we noted that HIV/AIDS is exempted from the pandemic control measures proposed in Bill S2028. While isolation and quarantine of carriers may not apply, testing and closing dangerous venues would certainly be reasonable.
HIV/AIDS is clearly a "disease or condition dangerous to the public health." We suggested that the Department of Public Health might consider closing down such venues as the Ramrod Bar in Boston. Mandatory HIV testing has even been called for by the Gay Men's Health Crisis in New York.* And wouldn't it be great if it were possible to ban web sites such as ManHunt.net? (Yeah, we know that policing the Internet is impossible.)
