my ex has a history of saying stuff that isn't funny to get back at me or scare me. he now has been texting me today telling me he got tested when he did a suspension (have hooks inserted into your back and you dangle from the ceiling). says he got the results back today and he's positive for it. i plan on getting tested myself on monday and then a few more times after that just to be sure im safe. what are charges i could bring against him for doing this to me. claims they said he has been positive for 6-12 months, had a blood test done that would've been taken the night of feb. 18 if he's telling the truth.

i live in WI.
i'm not trying to "get back at him". telling someone they probably have HIV as a joke isn't funny and its harassment. you think im feeling the greatest right now? not even close. yes i did it consensually but that was a few months ago. he started the "pain for pleasure" stuff after we broke up. he was a total sweetie when i met him, was more of a badass type so that was attractive. i don't agree with the stuff he did, which is why we're not together anymore.

you can only press charges if he knew he was infected and didn't tell you while you were having sex, unprotected sex especially.
If that's the case, reckless endangerment or possibly attempted murder come to mind.
However, if he didn't know before and is telling you now so you can get tested, then you'd have no case.
If he's lieing/joking about being HIV positive you could sue possibly sue for emotional damage and testing costs.
I wish you the best of luck.

it depends on what state you are in. If he was HIV positive, and knew it at the time he was sleeping with you, then there may be a cause of action for a civil suit. I doubt there could be criminal charges pressed against him. However, if you are HIV positive because he failed to tell you, then you might be able to recover the costs of medical treatment, emotional trauma, lost wages (if you had to/have to skip work because of all this) etc. Speak to an attorney ONLY IF you are HIV+.
HOWEVER, be aware that if you attempt to go after your ex in a civil suit, it will be VERY difficult to prove that he was the one who actually gave it to you. He will totally try to say that you sleep around and got it from someone else and then gave it to him. So it could be a very difficult case to win on your part.
If he continuously harasses you, then I would recommend changing your phone number and getting a restraining order against him. If he comes within 1000 ft of you, you can call the cops and he will be carted off to jail. Good luck.

I assure you that any courtroom, federal or state, received't even evaluate searching into your case. I by no potential evaluate 2 circumstances of any 2 persons because i imagine that is ridiculously incorrect yet for this I even might want to. A decide might want to somewhat deal with destroyed sources, stealing, fraud, homicide, fairly extreme circumstances like those somewhat of someone being depressed because their boyfriend/female friend broke up with them. until eventually he raped you, bodily abused you, stole something, destroyed sources, you're already dropping. Get some antidepressants, smoke weed, stay effective, do something sturdy that you would possibly want to get your existence heading in the right direction. i'm fairly sorry to hearken to that you're nevertheless distraught over this finished ingredient yet you could purely help your self at the same time as it contains emotions and love, that is no longer like the decide is going to courtroom order your ex to to start up courting you back.

I don't know of any charges you could press. I mean, you had consensual sex with him and it is your responsibility to use some kind of protection, being a condom, etc. If you used a condom, you probably shouldn't worry about contracting the disease. By the way, don't date people who hang themselves from ceilings and have more respect for yourself. Don't let a man have sex with you without using protection. Try being abstinent until you meet someone who really loves you. Get married and then go at it.

It depends on the state you live in! You probably have tort claims if nothing else, and in some states you have criminal claims against him. I strongly suggest you talk to your phone company about printing out your text messages, etc. and take those to an attorney.

If he knew he was positive and he continued to have sex with you without telling you is a felony in most states.
Also, in some states, it is considered a sex offense and if convicted can result in him having to register as a sex offender, just like a rapist or a child molester.

Lying is not a crime. You couldn't press criminal charges against him, but you could file a civil suit for harassment.

DID HE RAPE YOU?
Obviously not, he is your Ex.
You can't do didly about it because you chose to have sex with him, that was your choice cause obviously you are old enough to choose.
Quit trying to get back at him for your mistakes.

In my opinion i hope charges can be brought if he KNOWINGLY had HIV while having sex with you and did not inform you.

All kinds of charges can be brought against him if he knew of his infection, and then slept with you!
