Baseball Player Sued Iver HIV
Former baseball player Roberto Alomar is being sued by his ex-girlfriend for infecting her with HIV. Not really scientifically relevant but just something that popped up on CNN.
I think this is highly relevant and very interesting. The legal situation with regard to AIDS is currently complex and varies according to state. In Iowa for example it is a class B felony to engage in intimate contact with another person if you know you are HIV positive and do not have their consent. Such laws are increasing but for an interesting counterpoint see: this article
