Abdul El-Sayed called for repealing law that made sex without disclosing HIV status a felony
Fox News via NY Post ^ | 9/26/26 | Paul Steinhauser

Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed once called for repealing a Michigan law that made it a felony for people who knew they had HIV to have sex without first informing their partner — a position he is standing by eight years later as he campaigns in one of the nation’s most competitive Senate races.

As he unsuccessfully ran for Michigan governor in 2018, El-Sayed repeatedly took aim at the law.

The law carried a prison sentence of up to four years for people who knew they were HIV-positive and engaged in sexual penetration without first informing their partner of their HIV status.

“You should not be criminalized for a disease. That is absolutely wrong. It’s hateful. It’s discriminatory, and we can, as a state, do better. You can count on me for that,” El-Sayed said as he ran for governor.

Fast-forward eight years and El-Sayed, an epidemiologist and a former health director for Detroit-anchored Wayne County, is battling former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers in the midterm race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters.

The showdown in Michigan is a must hold for the Democrats as they try to win back control of the Senate from the GOP.

As he ran for the 2018 Democratic gubernatorial nomination — a contest he lost to now-two-term Gov. Gretchen Whitmer — El-Sayed’s campaign website stated, “Repeal HIV/AIDS criminalization laws and the exclusion of transgender Michiganders from state Medicaid.”

When asked in 2018 if he supported the decriminalization of HIV through legislation that would create two levels of misdemeanors, El-Sayed said at the time, “One of the big things that we have to recognize about HIV is that no disease can be illegal.

“The continuing forward of these laws on the books stigmatize people with the disease.”

Laws against spreading diseases are an example of competent government.

The Democrat Party stands against competent government.

Let me guess. He thinks the law is racist, homophobic, and Islamophobic.

Let me guess. He thinks the law is racist, homophobic, and Islamophobic. Plus, more deadly diseases means more money for the medical profession, of which he is allegedly a member.

“How are scum like this in 2026 getting anywhere near elective office. Just how.”

He’s playing to a certain constituency. The question is, is that a large demographic and does that demographic vote? I wonder what his polling says. There must be some electoral advantage. Or he is so disconnected from the voter base that poling doesn’t matter.

Another possibility is he got a donation from an advocacy group so big that losing the election on this issue wouldn’t matter. His poling might say he has no hope so he’s going full in on collecting money.

With all the muzzies moving here, not disclosing the monkey flu should also be a felony.

Having the disease is not illegal. Giving the disease to someone else is.

Just like they tried to tell us during COVID!

First thing to consider is to make it impossible for this clown to get elected.

They already did this in California.

Don't pin this all on Abdul. It's part of the line for all Democrats.

No one was 'criminalizing a disease' they were criminalizing intentionally spreading a disease. Then again it's not a disease that kills like it did before. Does this mean those collecting SS 'disability' for fifty sixty years for having the HIV virus will be kicked off the dole? THAT WOULD BE A RELIEF.

Seems the Islamic community, Commies and the Sexual weirdo community are joining hands? Called the Maximum Revenge Totalitarian Community? Will they send us off to camps or behead is? Maybe stoning? Well, until they turn on each other...

Any sheriff interested in actually protecting his/her citizens should at least be charging someone who knows they have AIDS and transmits it with attempted manslaughter. No, you are not allowed to try to kill other people just because you wanted an orgasm. For the narcissistic set I know that's a difficult concept to understand.

They should also be forced to pay all medical care costs related to the HIV infection in their victims, not the victim or taxpayers. That's just common sense.

If I understand you correctly that is my thought exactly. He wants to kill as many infidels as possible.
