Spitting on someone is offensive touching, in most states a Battery, the same as if you punched them in the face. The only difference from state to state is whether it is called Battery or Assualt!!

What do you call it if the person who spits on you has AIDS? Wouldn't that be a form of assault? Or use of a deadly weapon?

I know it is in Australia. In particular, I'm pretty sure it's a federal offense if you spit on a police officer.
