    Revealing the lying sacks of shit in the act gives lying a disadvantage it previously didn't have, leading, just maybe, to less lying.

    These metaphors remind me of a quote from Mark Twain:

    Politicians are like diapers; they need to be changed often and for the same reason.

    What I'd suggest is mine them where they are, send the scoop into Earth orbit, jump to the next asteroid, repeat. Less energy expenditure and no problem with chaff orbiting Earth.

    Also, if you test positive, you're required (and in some countries legally bound) to inform your past, present and future sexual partners about the fact. So, there goes your "argument." Bye.

    You are a pedant and your argument fails to disprove my point.

    Yes, I am and no, it doesn't. What you've wrote meant HIV infection is asymptomatic, while you should have written the symptoms are unspecific. Additionally, usually the persons in the risk group will know what to look for and, given they have means, will get tested, often earlier than the ARS can present itself (PCR shows viremia even as soon as 3 days after exposure.
