The proposal of the reform would be twofold. First would be to amend the relevant sections and the currently applied sections of the Criminal Code to make sure they do not apply in cases of HIV non-disclosure.

The second aspect would be to maybe create another HIV-specific measure to make sure that it would remain in cases where the transmission is real and intentional.
