The HIV was more likely to be used in bio crimes than in acts of bioterrorism. Historically, though, criminal cases involving HIV have not been terrorist acts. The three HIV bio crime scenarios most likely to occur are knowingly transferring HIV by rape or by not informing sexual partner(s) of being HIV positive, by health care transmission through improper unsterile conditions, and by criminal threats with blood tainted items. Through Open Access publications, scientists can avoid subscription fees and copyright and licensing restrictions to access free scholarly literature. Since Open Access publishing allows the permanent restoration of scientific data through digital copies, other than the constraint of Internet access, scientists around the world can freely share information and collaborate to enhance the progress of science. Open Access journals not only give royalty to free literature, but also reduce costs for paper-copy production.
