Many people believe sexuality is a fundamental human right. I tend to agree with them.

But that one aside I will make a case for the Roman view on sex and HIV/AIDS. Now first I am not against the use of codoms and such, but the dilemma shown here is just falce.
As far as I can remember "having sex" is not a universal human right. It isn't, it really really isn't and it shouldn't be either. To abstain from sex is not a lot of fun, especially not for people in a romantic relationship, but to claim that the only choice one has as a HIV/AIDS infected person is to have sex with a condom and to have sex without a condom is simply not true.
I'm 25 years old and I havn't had sex. I'm not suffering miserably from that lack of sex and if I triple my current age all without sex, then sure I missed a lot of fun, but life ain't fair. Deal with it.
Healthy sexuality is a strong component of long term relationships, disregarding certain exceptions (asexuals, &c.). Reducing the emotional handicap that an abstaining married couple would have to endure to "miss[ing] a lot of fun, but life ain't fair" is both extremely callous and condescending.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

You act as though it's selfish to be in a sexual relationship if one has HIV.

Most grotesque socially stunted losers in singles bars certainly do; the vice squad disagrees.

Have to go with the consensus that they let zealotry taint what could've been a good case.
