Via FWD/Foward comes news of a Michigan case in which an HIV-positive individual was charged with, wait for it, bioterrorism. The judge dismissed the charges.
This has to be seen in the context of a culture of the criminalisation of HIV status. Many countries have laws restricting the travel or immigration of people who are HIV-positive, or the marriage of people who are HIV-positive. In many countries, disclosure of HIV status is legally compelled.
