The laws have been used to prosecute HIV+ men who have knowingly had unsafe sex and not divulged their status.
I don't know the details of all the cases. I just have read news clips at Advocate.com. Each time, the defendant's HIV+ status was a matter of record, and multiple partners reported being unaware of his status before engaging in sex with the defendant.
Anonymous encounters don't lend themselves to prosecution unless the guy's cruising behavior has been caught on security videos, etc.
If a HIV+ guy is picked up by police in a known cruising area and charged with a sex-related crime, that opens the door to further investigation as to his conduct sexually.
