Do you not see how those statements are equivalent? You said that these people dying is better than allowing them to continue having sex.

No.

If 2 people continue with one another and are comitted to each other, then fine.

But if someone is incapable of staying faithful to 1 person and decides to go around and screw whoever he/she finds, then I don't know why I should care about their lives.

Just like that man who went around having sex with as many women he could because he found out that he had aids. Everyone was worried, "oh, those poor women, look at what he did to them". Haha, it was partly their fault in the first place for having sex with someone they didn't even know. So why should I feel any sympathy toward them at all?

But what you're claiming is that this is outweighed by the fact that he's not having premarital sex any more, so nobody should really be sad about it.

I'm not talking about premarital sex. I'm talking about people who have an affair.

Because every life has some intrinsic value, regardless of the person's actions.
But that's moralizing.

When you execute someone who performs some function in society, you mess around with the economic framework of families and such.
