The original law was probably an overreaction due to to fear so it's ok to level it all out. If it's not an automatic felony for passing along syphilis knowingly than HIV shouldn't be any different. Good move.
You, unsurprisingly, make a very poor analogy. Syphilis can be gotten rid of with one round of antibiotics. HIV is with you for life and requires you to take medication for life. If you cannot afford said medication then you will likely develop AIDS and you will eventually die. The difference between being infected with syphilis and HIV is profound and you trivialize it with your specious analogy.
