About: The claim that ‘deliberate Transmission of HIV Under Section 79 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act, any person who knowingly infects another person with HIV, whether through sexual intercourse or any other means, can be charged with a criminal offense’ has been rated as false. The Marriage Act of 2022 decriminalised this. However, there have been attempts to re-introduce this through the Criminal Laws Amendment (Protection of Children and Young Persons) Bill. Government is on record, though, saying this clause will be removed and HIV infection will only be criminalised when deliberate transmission is done in aggravating circumstances such as rape and other sexual offences involving young persons. It is, however, still an offence to intentionally infect any other person with syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, and all other forms of sexually-transmitted diseases, excluding HIV.     Goto   Sponge   NotDistinct   Permalink
