He pled guilty to all of his charges and then the victims asked the judge to minimize any jail time he might serve (the max was 10 years!). The judge gave him two years jail time with 2 years probation to be served continuously with his sentence for the first conviction which had the same sentence.
We do have this law that you must inform anyone you sleep with if you are HIV+ whether its two men or a man and a woman or whatever. The fact that he is gay has nothing to do with it. The unusual thing about it is that this law is like never enforced, right up there with the sodomy laws (which as far as I know we still have and are usually only used in rape cases as an additional charge to throw at a rapist).
I'm surprised the max jail sentence is only 10 years!! HIV is a deadly weapon and using it knowingly is just like using a gun -- only a slower death. Wow.
