[Zen] Knowingly Passing STDs

[Spider63]

I keep reading in various newspapers and magazines about the fact that SOME people of all races, groups, orientations, etc. who know that they are infected with AIDS or Herpes or other STDs continue to have unprotected sexual relations with others who have not been warned of their risk.   To me, it seems like a very serious crime is being committed against the innocent victims who get infected with diseases that do not have any know cure.   But what about the infected person who wants to continue having a normal life and who does not want to acknowledge that he/she is a plague-carrier?   What do you think is the appropriate Zen Mind regarding the person knowingly infecting others? What would you tell that person?   How would you counsel someone who had just discovered that a few dates with a new lover had turned into a Life Sentence with an STD?   No Flames Please.   Thank you.   Al Current Book Discussion: Appreciate Your Life by Taizan Maezumi Roshi YAHOO!
