Incredibly, prosecutors still find it necessary to criminally charge individuals with aggravated sexual assault or aggravated assault or battery when they knowingly fail to inform their sexual partners of their HIV/AIDS positive status.1
Aggravated sexual assault is typically defined to include non-consensual sexual activity that wounds, maims, disfigures or endangers the life of the non-consensual participant.
Aggravated assault or battery is typically defined to include activity, including sex that wounds, maims, disfigures or endangers the life of the harmed participant.
If you do not know your HIV/AIDS status get tested! If you are not comfortable telling others about your HIV/AIDS status get therapy until you are.
And never, engage in any activity that may transmit your HIV/AIDS status to another.
