There is of course a big difference between being criminalized for normal behavior, I.E. having sex and not knowing you're HIV positive, and intentionally infecting people with a disease you know to be incurable.
Even though HIV is not, in this day and age the automatic death sentence that it was ten years ago, to knowingly and purposefully do this to someone; that is the height of malice. It is a clear statement that you don't care about the welfare of anyone else.
INMHO, those who knowingly and purposefully infect others with HIV should be charged with attempted murder, because in the end, that is what they are doing.
