All cruising, whether it be online or offline, is always AYOR because anonymous 'hookups' for sex often entail the omission of a person's health status such as HIV and other STD's.
Legally, a person can be criminally charged with reckless endangerment of another person's life if they fail to disclose their HIV Positive status AND have unprotected sex with that person. Criminal intent to endanger another person's life is implicit in omitting one's HIV positive health status AND having unprotected sex with another person. The legal obligation to inform is often ignored when cruising for anonymous sex, whether it be initiated online or at some other cruising venue offline.
Morally? It is reprehensible to endanger another person's life by omitting a person's HIV positive health status and having unprotected sex with another person.
Ethically? Our personal ethic is to do no harm to another person. Omitting one's HIV positive status AND having unprotected sex is behavior which endangers another person's life. It also dishonors the value of another person's life.
There are legal, moral and ethical consequences for failing to inform and having unprotected sex.
