What are the legal repurcussions of knowing infecting someone with a disease?

Asked by Spargett (5395points) March 29th, 2008 from iPhone

Say you have AIDS and knowingly have unprotected sex with a partner. What are the legal repurcussions of this? As well as the civil repercussions?

And let’s take it a step further. What if you infect someone with a non-fatal virus or STD? Can they sue?

Interested to hear the responses. I have my own theories.
