In Canada, an HIV positive man was sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison for having unprotected sex with two women. When the women asked Vincent Walkem if he was HIV positive, he lied and then screwed them both without condoms. One woman is now HIV positive, while the other woman remained negative five years after her experience. I totally think this is absolutely disgusting, and that this guy is a creep and that maybe he deserves to spend his life behind bars, but 4 1/2 years, what a wacky number.

Now, the fact that this guy absolutely knew his HIV status and decided to lie to these two women (and possibly more) is outright unacceptable, disgusting and revolting, but I also have to say that this wasn’t rape, this was consensual sex, and these women agreed, consensually to have sex with this guy without a condom. Regardless of if he lied or not (what if he just didn’t know?) it is their responsibility to protect themselves too, and that doesn’t have anything to do with his HIV status. But still, like I said, he’s an asshole and creep and he knew what he had, and he knew what he was doing was the opposite of right, and he’s obviously in denial about the severity of what he’s got going on in his system.
