- Description
-
This list, although not exhaustive, provides a braod snapshot of the spate of prosecutions for HIV exposure in the United States over a nearly two-year period. Every prosecution listed here involves conduct that is either consensual (sex) or poses no significant risk of HIV transmission (spitting, biting). Although the outcomes of some cases remain unknown, the outcomes that are known often involve draconian penalties, including prison sentences that reach 25 years or more, even when no transmission of HIV occurred.
