It's against the law if you KNOW you have an STD, and expose them without informing them of the fact. If you're unaware, then no. A person can, and would deserve to go to jail for inecting another on purpose.

If you know you have an STD and do not do anything to protect yourself during sex and do not tell your partner you have an STD before hand, yes it is illegal. If you have HIV or AIDS, don't protect yourself during sex, and don't tell your partners you are HIV or are AIDS positive you can go to jail for attempted murder. If your partner dies of AIDS and it came out that you knew you had AIDS while having sex with them and didn' tell them, you can go to jail for murder. This goes to show that you should always use protection and be honest with your partners. Remember not all protection is 100% effective and someone who has an STD or HIV does not always show symptons. Abstinence is always the best protection.

yes it is against the law to give someone an std if you knowingly do it. if you don't know you have it then that's different. that person could turn around and sue you. if you infect someone with HIV then you can be charged with attempted murder, or worse if the person dies you will be charged with murder.

I would think that if you knew that you had a STD and exposed them you could charged for assault and battery..if you have seen in the news people have been arrested exposing others if they are HIV positive and didn't advise of the possible exposure.

Yes, it is especially in the case of HIV. People are going to jail for it. In Canada at least.

If you are HIV positive and you knowingly have sex with someone that is not (HIV positive) without protection and they are not aware of the consequences, you can be prosecuted.

Yes. It is called attempted murder. I have actually come across a case exactly like that.
