It's well known that gays will lie about their HIV status. As such, all who are HIV-positive should be on a list which can be accessed by anyone.
And BTW how do you even deal with people who have no idea they are HIV positive and have never been tested?
A bigger problem than the anonymous coward you quoted seems to be aware of. Someone who doesn't know they are HIV+ you cannot be treated. Most people who are are aware of their HIV+ status and treated eventually become undetectable, and the consensus is that undetectable is effectively untransmittable (see: "people who take ART daily as prescribed and achieve and maintain an undetectable viral load have effectively no risk of sexually transmitting the virus to an HIV-negative partner").
The risk is much greater from someone who says they're "negative" but only because they've never been tested. As bad of an idea as the poster's "list" would be anyway, it has no chance of helping here, where the greater danger lies.
