From gaypeopleschronicle.com:

"Drake was charged under Ohio's controversial 2000 law requiring people who "knowingly" have HIV to disclose their status to their sexual partners "prior to engaging in the sexual conduct."

Interesting article about responsibility and HIV infection though I tend to side with the following:

“The message this sends is that someone else is always responsible for actions,” said Sullivan, “that HIV prevention is everyone else’s responsibility. That burden does not always need to always come down on HIV positive people.”

I think HIV prevention is the responsibility of each individual. We have to take that responsibility because, as this story shows, we can't always depend on someone else. Every person, regardless of what they are or are not told by a potential partner, should take precautions and protect themselves. To act otherwise is, in my opinion, irresponsible.
