Dishonorable discharge, 8 yrs in prison, for HIV+ Air Force sergeant who lied to sex partners
And finally, there’s another issue here. With the conviction, he loses his military medical benefits, needed to treat his HIV. Having said that, I’m thinking he’ll receive medical treatment in prison, and the health care reform bill passed last year makes it so that insurers can’t turn you down for HIV (it’s still unclear to me whether HRC, either now, or once its fully implemented, would fix this kind of problem). Does this fact change your mind any?
I’m curious what you guys think.
