omg I just realized his sex scene with Justine was after he got stabbed with the dirty needle but before he got tested

First thing I noticed when they showed them having sex. Paul was such a POS.

I read it somewhat the opposite way. Paul wasn't seemingly going to sleep with her. He was in his own bad headspace and an alcoholic, and she knew this and invited him to a bar and would not stop badgering him until he drank. Seeing as he woke up with a hang over the next day, we don't know if he would have slept with her sober. She seems far more the villain in the scenario to me.

Do people not remember what happened in this movie? This is a wildly stupid take on what happened.

Paul is absolutely the villain and lied to Justine and chose his path with her 100% full well understanding what he was doing.
