民主党参议院提名候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德曾呼吁废除密歇根州一项法律，该法律规定明知自己感染HIV却未事先告知性伴侣就发生性行为者将面临重罪指控。八年后的今天，在这场美国竞争最激烈的参议院选举之一中，他依然坚持这一立场。
2018年埃尔赛义德竞选密歇根州州长失利期间，曾多次抨击这项法律。该法律规定，明知自己HIV检测呈阳性却未事先告知伴侣并发生插入式性行为者，最高可判处四年监禁。
“你不应该因为罹患疾病而被定罪。这绝对是错误的，充满仇恨，带有歧视性，作为一个州，我们可以做得更好。你可以相信我会做到这一点，”埃尔赛义德在竞选州长时说道。

八年后的今天，作为流行病学家、曾任职于以底特律为中心的韦恩县卫生部门主管的埃尔赛义德，正在中期选举中与前共和党众议员迈克·罗杰斯角逐席位，以接替即将退休的民主党参议员加里·彼得斯。由于民主党试图从共和党手中夺回参议院控制权，密歇根州的这场对决对民主党而言是必保席位。
2018年埃尔赛义德竞选民主党州长提名时输给了现任两任州长格蕾琴·惠特默，他的竞选网站当时曾写道：“废除HIV/AIDS定罪化法律，以及将跨性别密歇根州居民排除在州医疗补助计划之外的条款。”
2018年当被问及是否支持通过立法将HIV暴露行为除罪化，将其分为两级轻罪时，埃尔赛义德当时表示：“我们必须认清关于HIV的一个重要事实：没有哪种疾病可以被定为非法。现行的这些法律只会给患者带来污名化。”

惠特默也支持修改这项制定于1988年的法律，她在竞选州长时表示：“将患病行为定罪是错误的，这项法律实际上就是这么做的，绝对应该重新审议。”
该法律于2019年初得到改革，经共和党控制的州议会以广泛的两党支持通过。修订后的法规将重罪条款限定为意图传播HIV的阴道和肛门性行为，或实际已传播HIV的案例，将部分未造成传播的行为降为轻罪，并保护病毒载量得到医学抑制的人群不受该法律中“无视后果”条款的起诉。
“阿卜杜勒支持2019年经共和党议会通过的两党改革法案，该法案废除了现行的歧视性法律，”竞选发言人罗克西·里奇纳在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示。“作为一名公共卫生专业人士，阿卜杜勒一直致力于支持遏制包括HIV在内的疾病传播的项目。”
里奇纳补充道：“特朗普政府通过削减一线预防传播和暴露护理组织和项目的资金，彻底加剧了这场危机。在美国参议院，阿卜杜勒将反击唐纳德·特朗普和小罗伯特·肯尼迪摧毁我们公共卫生基础设施的企图，确保所有美国人都能获得所需的医疗服务。”

埃尔赛义德也坚持自己过去关于反对针对HIV感染者歧视的立场。
上周，在获得领先的LGBTQ维权组织人权运动的背书时，埃尔赛义德强调，如果当选参议员，“我将努力确保每个密歇根州居民都能生活在没有歧视的环境中，永远不必担心自己的权利明天是否还存在。”

埃尔赛义德在8月的激烈初选中以微弱优势击败立场更温和的民主党众议员黑利·史蒂文斯，此次初选进一步暴露了民主党左翼与建制派派系之间的分歧。如果当选，他将成为美国首位穆斯林参议员。
他将支持“全民医保”作为竞选的核心议题。埃尔赛义德还呼吁废除移民海关执法局，并在以色列与哈马斯的战争中直言不讳地批评以色列，将以色列在加沙的行动定性为对巴勒斯坦人的“种族灭绝”。

Unearthed: El-Sayed called for repealing law that made sex without disclosing HIV status a felony

Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed once called for repealing a Michigan law that made it a felony for people who knew they had HIV to have sex without first informing their partner — a position he is standing by eight years later as he campaigns in one of the nation’s most competitive Senate races
As he unsuccessfully ran for Michigan governor in 2018, El-Sayed repeatedly took aim at the law. The law carried a prison sentence of up to four years for people who knew they were HIV-positive and engaged in sexual penetration without first informing their partner of their HIV status.
“You should not be criminalized for a disease. That is absolutely wrong. It’s hateful. It’s discriminatory, and we can, as a state, do better. You can count on me for that,” El-Sayed said as he ran for governor.

Fast-forward eight years and El-Sayed, an epidemiologist and a former health director for Detroit-anchored Wayne County, is battling former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers in the midterm race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters. The showdown in Michigan is a must hold for the Democrats as they try to win back control of the Senate from the GOP.
As he ran for the 2018 Democratic gubernatorial nomination — a contest he lost to now-two-term Gov. Gretchen Whitmer — El-Sayed’s campaign website stated, “Repeal HIV/AIDS criminalization laws and the exclusion of transgender Michiganders from state Medicaid.”
When asked in 2018 if he supported the decriminalization of HIV through legislation that would create two levels of misdemeanors, El-Sayed said at the time, “One of the big things that we have to recognize about HIV is that no disease can be illegal. The continuing forward of these laws on the books stigmatize people with the disease.”

Whitmer also supported changing the law, which dated to 1988, saying as she ran for governor, “It’s wrong to criminalize sickness, which is what this law has effectively done. It absolutely should be revisited.”
The law was reformed in early 2019, after passing a GOP-controlled legislature with broad bipartisan support. The revised statute limited the felony provisions to vaginal and anal intercourse involving an intent to transmit HIV or cases in which HIV was actually transmitted, reduced certain non-transmission offenses to misdemeanors and protected medically suppressed people from prosecution under the law’s reckless-disregard provision.
“Abdul supports the bipartisan reform bill that passed in 2019 through a Republican legislature that eliminated the discriminatory laws on the books,” campaign spokesperson Roxie Richner told Fox News Digital. “As a public health professional, Abdul has fought to support programs that stem the spread of diseases, including HIV.”
Richner added that “the Trump administration has completely exacerbated this crisis by defunding the organizations and programs that do frontline care to prevent transmission and exposure in the first place. In the US Senate, Abdul will fight back against Donald Trump and RFK Jr’s attempts to dismantle our public health infrastructure and ensure all Americans have access to the care they need.”

El-Sayed also stands by his past comments on fighting discrimination aimed at those with HIV.
Last week, as he landed an endorsement from the Human Rights Campaign, a leading LGBTQ advocacy group, El-Sayed highlighted that if elected to the Senate, “I’ll fight to ensure every Michigander can live without discrimination and never have to wonder whether their rights will still be there tomorrow.”

El-Sayed, who narrowly edged more moderate Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens in August in a contentious primary that further exposed the rift between the party’s left-wing and establishment factions, would become the nation’s first Muslim senator if elected.
He has made support for “Medicare for all” a major component of his campaign. El-Sayed has also called for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement and has been a vocal critic of Israel during its war against Hamas, characterizing Israel’s actions in Gaza as “genocide” against Palestinians.
