Liberals, do you agree with IPP?

Question

IPP clearly states that a young person with HIV has a right to "decide if, when, and how to disclose their HIV status" Do you agree that a person has no moral obligation to tell another person that they may be exposed to a deadly disease?

Here is the IPP guide:

Update:

Okay, the IPP guide is for those intending to have sex.

They have an obligation to any potential partner, or blood transfusion recipient, etc.

They don't have an obligation to anyone else, like family or employers or the general public, unless there is a real, foreseeable risk of transmission.

? · Answer

Completely disagree, they DO have a moral obligation. If someone spreads HIV to a partner without their knowledge, it's basically murder.

I agree with Wage Slave.  It's nobody's business, unless you're transferring bodily fluids.  And if you're HIV, you shouldn't be transferring bodily fluids.

Wage Slave · Answer

Only if they plan on transferring bodily fluids do I think it is a moral obligation.

I read that to mean that an HIV positive individual has no requirement to disclose their HIV status to you or any other person, but it don't read that to mean an HIV positive person has no requirement to disclose that to those with whom they have sexual contact.

I believe it means "No one can demand you reveal your personal medical information."

Of COURSE the Left agrees that notifying potential sexual partners of one's HIV POSITIVE test is a "choice"!
