(emphasis mine) I take issue with this. No one gives themselves HIV, and I doubt he went and TRIED to get it. What is so difficult for people to understand? This is a disease that you can get just for having sex. That's it. It only takes one person. He didn't DO this to himself, it just happened. Do you blame someone for getting cancer? Christ on a piece of toast!

If they got cancer by smoking ten cigarettes a day, yes. It's their own fault, and they should take personal responsibility for it. If he had unprotected sex and ended up with AIDS - again, he should take personal responsibility for it. It's not like AIDS dropped from the sky and fucked him. You don't have to TRY at something to make it your fault. I can not be TRYING to kill someone, but if I kill them its definitely still my fault. The notable exception would be HIV via a blood transfusion, but based on power's description I think we can safely assume that is not how the transmission occured. It's a self-inflicted wound like any other.
