Something that will be a part of your daily life for the rest of your life should be a felony. (Hepatitis, Herpes, HPV, HIV)

Something that I can get rid of should be a misdemeanor.  (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, crabs)


It's like saying that gross negligence that results in paralysis should be treated the same as gross negligence that results in a sprained ankle. 

How is hepatitis, herpes, etc treated under CA law?  If HIV was the only one treated differently before they are all treated the same now.

Each case will be unique.  And "can" be treated as a felony still.  That wasn't taken off the table according to the OP.  It just was automatically a felony.

I don't have a problem with that personally.

And I said make them all felonies or don't.  Given your post make all the permanent ones felonies or don't.  It's all the same to me if they are treated the same way.
