Trump Administration Ignores Congressional Directive to Fully Fund HIV/AIDS Program

And this gets you closer to being let into heaven Don?

In some states (like the one where I live) there are laws that make it illegal to not disclose your HIV positive status to a partner and it's punishable with time in prison. It is very much a holdover from the HIV=gay so pretend targeting gays will eradicate HIV.

There are literally people who have written contracts they get every new partner to sign before sex bc they worry about the law being used to target them.

Access to medications like Prep keeps viral load low enough so that it's undetectable. When the virus is undetectable it becomes untransmissible.

Still you have cases where people who have been unable to transmit the virus for a decade, face jail time simply for being HIV positive.

Trump wants to block access to these medications. You also have cuts being made to free clinics that provide testing for STDs.

So under Trump you will have people who are HIV+ unable to access medications that prevent transmission, you will have increased prevalence of circulating HIV in populations going undetected, and you also have Trump saying he wants to reduce funding for harm reduction interventions for addiction (like needle exchanges).

As HIV epidemics begin to re-emerge (especially in poorer areas with fewer privately funded resources available to the public) you will also have crackdowns and arrests of people using these laws that target HIV status.

They dont care about what is right and wrong. They arent normal human beings like us who feel shame. All they care about is power.
