I think it's a renewed attempt by folks in public health to get a handle on a growing epidemic. CDC numbers are available in the link in comment 10.
Since anyone who cares to know how to avoid getting infected with HIV knows what to do, knowing what is known about how folks still behave regardless, what do you propose for folks in public health to say and do?
If the domain of PUBLIC health is the safety of the PUBLIC, then the first concern should not be the burden placed on the infectors! Yes, attempts should be made to minimize the impact to them, but if officials are forced (by the irresponsible behavior of the infectors) to choose between the PUBLIC's wellbeing and the niceties accorded the infectors, then the latter are forfeit.
The precedent has been established that, in the interest of the public safety, certain constitutional safeguards can be overridden. If this truly is a public crisis, then habeus corpus can be suspended, search and seizure broadened, and detention made an option.
The only thing stopping such drastic action is the cowardice of the public health community. They want to appease the homosexual lobby and still pretend to be combating the problem. So they propose half measures and smokescreens like these, hoping people will believe that motion is progress. These don't work. They haven't worked. They won't work.
When a child makes a lot of bad choices, you remove the right of the child to make that choice. You don't concentrate on trying to make the consequences of that choice more bearable.
"To avoid contamination with the HIV virus, which causes Gay Related Immuno Deficiency Syndrome, the CDC recommends the following actions:
1. Do not practice premarital sex.
2. Prior to being married have both partners tested for HIV and other STDs.
3. Remain faithfully monogamous through out your life
4. Do not associate with those who practice homosexuality or who use intravenous drugs as these are the repositories of the virus
Following the above recommendations will make it impossible for you to acquire HIV or GRIDS"
