Is having unprotected sex with a complete stranger not the same as consending to being infected with HIV??? wether you do or don't know they have or haven't got HIV.....
No, it's not the same. It's just ignorance of decision making. Or just lack of the education and knowledge of how to contract the disease. Doesn't mean that they said it was ok.
Just because a child doesn't know what would happen if they stuck a butter knife in a electrical socket...
...Does that mean that the child deserves or conscented to being electricuded?

This is really a horrible thing. I cannot believe people on here are trying to mitigate the magnitude of the crime because they were at a sex party. The story did not present that the people injected WANTED HIV and willingly got injected. If they were having unprotected sex, that is their stupid choice. They had a probablity ratio to getting an STD and not getting one, but for people to inject someone with HIV is just sickening. I would never attend a sex party but I think if you do, you aren;t a bad person and you certainly don't deserve a life threatening disease.

Which brings us back to my original question. Why wouldn't they be tried for attempted murder?

What is the point here is that if people are deliberately putting themselfs at high risk they should be aware of the consequences.

So in my opinion when attending these kind of parties you may become a victim but you are always guilty.

What would happen in a world where healthcare isn't paid for?

These people who willing take risks should realise that they are putting other people at danger.

It does. Maybe not in this extreme form, but their are bug chasers out there everywhere.
I can't understand why someone would actually want this disease.

After reading this entire thread I have come to the conclusion that you, operation mindcrime, are an expert at bareback parties.
You seem to know an exuberant amount of information about these and the goings on there.
Why do you, and how have you educated yourself so highly in this topic?
