But that pretty much backs up what I'm saying. It even says "there are no known cases of saliva by itself spreading HIV." And there's only one known case of it even spreading through open-mouth kissing.

The fact they don't recommend french kissing with someone who has AIDS, and that in theory one could acquire the disease through saliva, is enough to make what he did criminal. I do agree he got a raw deal in court, though. However, he does sound like a crazy mother ****er who is best put behind bars.
