Be pretty difficult to prove ... you would need to prove that you didnt have the infection prior to your relationship, unless you had a doctors certificate stating that you were STD or STI free I doubt you could.. even then the defense could argue that any subsequent partners could be responsible ... the defense would only need to place a doubt in the jurors mind. If I were you I would get treated, chalk it up to experience and move on

If you really thought about it, them pressing charges against someone who saved a life, they'd be pretty foolish. Almost as foolish as the parents refusing medical care, thinking "God" alone will save their child. You and your dad did the right thing by calling for the police/medical care. As the girl gets well and gets in good health, you may call your local police's non-emergency line to report child endangerment/neglect/abuse by those "parents".

Short answer is YES. The long answer is you may only have recourse through civil court. You need to speak to a lawyer because medical records are involved and are protected by privacy laws.

Yes. But you have to have proof for a conviction. You can also sue that person in civil court for bodily injury, even if the infection was unintentional.

Theoretically you can, because it is a bodily injury. However, how are you going to prove that it was exactly that person and not the other that caused you the injury.

did your partner make you aware of their condition prior to being intimate? If not its assault, contact your local police and file a report stating such.

Yes, but proving that they did it willingly is going to be hard to do.

It is illegal in most states to have sex with someone if you have AIDS, without informing prior to intercourse that you have AIDS.
