[Vision2020] Moscow's HIV alert

[Bruce and Jean Livingston]

The lawyer in me cannot help but say that Mr. Mubita has only been "accused" of being HIV positive.  He may well be, or, he may not.  The court proceedings will establish that.

  Very good thought, Ms. Roskovich.

   

  Since Kanay Mubita has been identified as HIV-positive and has (shall we assume) contracted AIDS, this presents some serious questions:

   

  1.  Is it possible to determine fairly accurately when Mubita contracted AIDS?

   

  2.  Would Mubita be forth-coming in identifying his sexual partners to the police?

   

  3.  If Mubita's sexual partners are also sexually active, how far should the community (and/or local law enforcement) pursue the "domino affect" of AIDS as it relates to this instance?

   

  Mubita must be held criminally responsible and civilly liable for his acts.  The community should be kept informed of the outcome of criminal and civil litigations against Mubita.  Perhaps then those that are aware that they are HIV-positive will feel obligated to inform their sexual partner.

   

  Thoughts?

  Rather than trying to second guess where Jesus would shop, maybe we should spend a minute to a health alert that hits really close to Moscow and needs to be addressed.

   

  Kanay Mubita has been arrested on a felony charge of exchanging body fluid that contains the HIV virus.  He has been very active in the local bar scene over the past few years and has had numerous friends of the opposite sex.  He is accused of not informing them of his HIV condition.
