Washington a a Safe sex orders issued to service members infected with the aids virus apply even when the other person is outside military jurisdiction the court of military appeals has ruled. The court which has taken a hard line in cases that involve service members who knowingly transmit the virus to other military personnel upheld the conviction of a senior airman who had sex with a civilian without telling her he was infected. Senior airman Marc Dumford was charged with aggravated assault and disobeying a Safe sex order. The airman who was assigned at Lackland fab Texas was sentenced to a dishonourable discharge two years in jail and forfeiture of All pay. Dumford appealed on the grounds that the Safe sex order issued by his commander restricted his personal rights since it was being applied to consensual non deviant sexual Intercourse with a female civilian. In a Case last september of United states is. Womack the courts three judges held that a military Safe sex order is a a valid exercise of military  Dumford a Safe sex order was a equally Clear definite and certain As the one in the Womack Case the court said in a May 10 opinion. The Only question was whether Dumford a order was Overly Broad since it required him to warn civilian As Well As military sexual partners of his condition. The judges noted that Many states have passed Laws limiting the personal liberties of individuals infected with the aids virus that Are far More restrictive than Dumford a order. The judges ruled that the order was not too Broad since it did not prohibit sexual Contact but Only set the terms under which Dumford could engage in such activities. A we have absolutely no doubt that preventing a service member who has the aids virus from spreading it to the civilian population is a Public duty of the highest order and thus is a valid military objective a the judges wrote. A when a service member is capable of exposing another person to an infectious disease the military has a legitimate interest in preventing the spread of that condition by limiting his Contact with others including  Leader wants to renew ties with .
