    No one can get AIDs straight up, but you're mostly right. The HIV virus itself usually takes 4-6 months to appear on tests but there are some instances that it doesn't appear until a year.

        Or if you're Magic it just disappears.
        "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

                Legally speaking, it is a form of assault and battery to knowingly pass on a sexually transmitted disease. I think a case can be made to call it rape, as consent is nullified by not informing the other party that you have a STD (at the very least it does work that way in civil actions).

                    I know this is a Canadian example so the legalities might be a little different but former CFL-er Trevis Smith of the Saskatchewan RoughRiders was found guilty last year of knowingly exposing two women to HIV. He was sentenced to 6 years on the charge of Aggravated Sexual Assault.

                        That sounds about right for what it would be in the US as well. I believe you could even trump it all the way up to attempted murder if you wanted to stretch the boundaries of the law, and then eventually murder when the person dies from HIV/AIDS or some related illness that became life threatening because of the weakened immune system.

                        Now if a DA would actually bring these charges, that is hard to say. But I'd at least bet on the bar exam that the choice of Attempted Murder would be correct if the other elements were arguably in place.
