If a husband for instance doesn’t disclose his HIV status for his wife and if his wife got pregnancy, this is a crime and is not different from stabbing to death. He is infecting two lives at the same time. This is happening. We have to try our endeavor to counsel them to disclose their status and bring their partners to care. If this fails, the partner should be sued. I can’t see this is clashing with confidentiality. They are husband and wife and this should be treated differently. (C—04)
As a pastor, I have told you earlier that my job is to pray for people, not to order to discard their pills. Recently, three people with HIV came to me to cure them from the virus. Then, I had to pray, pray and pray in front of God (.2), and finally three of them cured by my service. They went to re-check and were negative. I am right to declare the cure (HIV) but I shouldn’t order to throw pills. However, there are pastors who emotionally order people to discard pills, and they should be asked by law—they do this to get acceptance from the attendants. I support considering this to be included in the legislation. (C—10)
