Ending HIV Criminalization Starts With Me: How HIV criminalization laws target women—and how women are fighting back
POZ.com ^ | March 7, 2022 | Heather Boerner

Tiffany Moore had a panic attack at a Tennessee playground. That’s how her 2021 ended.

All she’d wanted was to give her 8-year-old daughter the gentle childhood she’d never had. By age 10, Moore had for years been strapped down repeatedly in mental health wards and “pumped full of drugs” in different hospitals. That was in addition to the abuse she’d experienced at home. Half a decade later, she would be on the streets, surviving through work with sex traffickers and pimps. At age 10, she says, she didn’t expect to see adulthood. Now, as a mother, she was determined her daughter would grow up enjoying her childhood experiences, including afternoons on swings and slides with her mommy.

But until December 2021, when a change in Tennessee law that she fought for went into effect, Moore was legally forbidden from visiting a playground. That’s because at 21, she was convicted of aggravated prostitution...

These devients will never stop until we are all at risk for AIDS.

HIV is not quite exclusively a gay male disease but it is not too far from it either.

I'm having trouble with the phrase "aggravated prostitution".

Is this the same wordsmithing that brought us "predatory lenders" (like banks forced people at gunpoint to get a mortgage instead of the borrowers being the ones seeking out the banks)?

Do male prostitutes get to be removed from the sex offender list after 20 years too?

Tiffany is a fictional character, imo.

It appears it is prostitution by someone with HIV who does not reveal their status to their customer(s).

Another single mom trying her best to virtue signal. On top of her being in and out of psyche wards. CLIFF NOTES: Its a shocker, shes cra-cra..

fifty years ago these types of individuals didn't get air time, or make the news. They lived in back alleys and dug thru your trash cans at midnight.

Lots of distortions at the edges of this body of law. It needs to be cleaned up.

HIV is not quite exclusively a gay male disease but it is not too far from it either.

Actually, it is exactly a queer-centric disease, despite the protestations to the contrary.

EVERYTHING about HIV points back to men-with-men sexual behavior.

Men contract HIV almost exclusively through sex with other men. Women are basically a dead end as transmitters for the infection because the insertive partner is overwhelmingly the one who transmits the virus. Women can transmit the infection, but it is very rare and usually involves men who have other advanced STD's, like syphillis or gonorrhea sores.

Women who contract HIV do so sexually from men who also have sex with men.

IV drug abusers are a very distant 3rd place.

The article says she got HIV from rape. I guess even if so she had no “right” to prostitute after that with HIV. Thanks for clearing that up.

Having AIDS is not a crime.

Knowingly having sex with people, in her case MANY MANY people (she was a prostitute), and not telling them is a crime and should always be a crime.

If you boil the “bias” down it is due to females being more likely to be prostitutes than males.

Exactly. But the narrative requires you to include "having AIDS" as "having the freedom to do sexually with HIV whatever you want without consequences."

It's a very complicated language, Left-ese.

I just don’t understand prostitution. The thought of it makes my skin crawl and I am far from a prude.

Usually, the leftist cray-crays are supposed to come out during a Republican Administration. But Biden and his ‘81 million’ had to call in so many markers they’ve obligated themselves to have to listen to and deal with in the here and now. Keep it up - eventually somebody might realize leftists are responsible.

I want to know how a deadly communicable disease managed to get civil rights, while a bad flu is the basis to destroy personal freedom throughout the world.
