the picture you posted indirectly asserted that the skyrocketing STD numbers in LA were a direct result of decriminalizing the negligent spreading of HIV. thats the starting point of this discussion. I said that this doesnt actually make sense, for the reasons I laid out above.
With HIV not being a death sentence anymore, ppl feel a lower need to protect themselves from it. We're not being made aware of the risks like we were 10 years ago...
Apart from that.. ppl surviving HIV will probably have an impact as well, as for now, it isn't cured but ppl do stay alive. (/e: meaning more living ppl with STD's).
/e an additional note to be made is that ppl with HIV taking the medication reduces chances of spreading it to 0%.
/e2: Imo that makes the law more useless than it already was. Or at least: outlived its function.
