Keith Boykin Highlights Other Carriker-like Cases

Great minds think alike! Just a few days after my post last week about the case of the Georgia man jailed for unprotected sex, premiere gay black blogger and author Keith Boykin highlights the issue with a similar case involving a black Canadian football player named Trevis Smith and also summarizes other cases involving primarily Black men. He agrees with me that criminalization of sexual behavior is not the way to go, but repeats an old motto of the HIV prevention community: "It takes two people to spread HIV but only one to stop it." In other words, it just takes one person in a sexual situation to be adamant about using protection and if there was one person like this in every sexual pair then this would lead to decreased HIV transmission rates and increased HIV prevention.
