I would love to be able to answer the question, and I last night honestly thought that this question would come up to one of us. It's too bad that we don't have someone today from the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network or HALCO to address that because they are the folks who have that knowledge. I don't have any legal background. I would love to be able to answer the question in terms of where that would be housed when there is actual proven intentional transmission of HIV.
In terms of my own experiences in working with a lot of folks living with HIV, I can tell you that I did a lot of support work with a lot of different folks, and I never once encountered—or through my colleagues or through other sources—anyone living with HIV who ever went out there actually trying to transmit the virus to someone else. I can tell you that people living with HIV are, for a fact, the most cautious and the most concerned about the health of those around them, including potential sexual partners. I've never met a community that is more concerned and more cautious than people living with HIV when it comes to protecting other people's health. When you're talking about intentional transmission, it is in the rarest of cases that might happen. It would definitely also have to be 100% proven that there was actual deliberate intent, which doesn't happen all the time. I think that a lot of the cases that we have seen have been driven and fuelled by HIV stigma more than anything else when it comes to prosecution.
Unfortunately, as I said, I'm not a lawyer, so I can't answer your question in terms of where that should be housed. However, it's a great question, and hopefully you will, as a committee, be following up with the legal sources to get that answer.
