11/12/09 – Denver, CO — Darren Garcia, 29, was arrested Nov. 6 in Denver for prostitution after a police officer reportedly witnessed him offer to perform sexual acts in exchange for $50. According to media report, Garcia has been arrested at least 5 times in the past on prostitution related charged.
In 2007 Garcia was sentenced to 1 1/2 years in prison (the maximum allowed by law) for prostitution with the knowledge of being HIV-infected.
Garcia’s latest arrest has garnered him a class 5 felony charge that could result in a prison sentence of up to 5 years.
Garcia is in custody in the Denver County Jail and his bond has been set at $75,000. Garcia is scheduled to appear in a Denver County courtroom on Friday, Nov. 13.
Colorado’s law making it a felony crime to prostitute with knowledge of HIV or AIDS was enacted over a decade ago to prevent a notorious Denver prostitute from spreading AIDS. She was eventually given a five-year prison sentence.

These state with johntv should also show if the johns’ have STDs’ and/or HIV/AIDS. Medical Privicy should protect those that live with in the Law. When your threat to the health of the community it shouldn’t. We do this to the metally ill people in the News. If your a prostitute or have been or are a john you are a threat to the health of the community.

Would it be legal to write about Johns and Prostitutes “Could have an STD(s’) and/or HIV/AIDS now or increase chance in the future of get them.” This would show all even those that don’t Care to Care.

It’s so sad. It’s sad that segments of our society feel perfectly comfortable shareing their bodies with total strangers. How can anyone just have “sex relations” with someone they don’t know? and how could a person use their bodies like some sort of machine?! We have a lot of sexually sick people out here. My feeling is, we have to get over being so sexually passive and uptight with our children! A lot of the “lewdness” stems from sex being kept so “hush-hush!” and “dirty!” in many peoples minds, and hearts. Like everything else, education and time well spent with youngsters, is the key!, but you cannot teach, what you, yourself, do not know, or are not comfortable with. Our Society “thinks” it has grown more sexually mature, but the truth is, we’ve just grown more base!

We should really be very careful about having unprotected sex, HIV/AIDS still does not have a cure as of this day. Who knows when this disease will be cured.
