    Another interpretation

    Another example would be the millions of women in Africa, where economic circumstances require their husbands to travel long distances for extended periods of time to find work, who are infected with HIV as a result of their husbands "harmless" visits with infected prostitutes while away from home.

    Perhaps the real crime is that the husbands didn't use condoms?

    It's not the sex between adults that is the crime, it is the negligence that enabled the transfer of HIV.
