    Q5. If a person was HIV positive, told their partner, used protection & the partner told them to #$/@ off!

    Would that be the third degree?

    The website you linked me says.

    "They have a right to keep their HIV status private."

    What if they work in a job where the have a good chance to infect others through blood contamination?

    Most of those kind of jobs would require a medical before beginning employment, eg doctor, pathologist, etc

    What if they are in meat processing or food processing e.g. prepare your lunch?

    or in your kid's school preparing their lunch?

    Public Health Act:
    • An HIV positive person must not“recklessly” transmit HIV. This is a different requirement than under the Criminal Code where “intent” must be established. However, if criminal intent is established the case may be prosecuted under the Queensland Criminal Code;
    • Given that a person must not “recklessly” transmit HIV, it means that a person does not have to disclose their HIV status as long as they practice safe sex; and
    • Condoms and water-based lubricant during sex would be considered safe prevention strategies as their effectiveness is founded in evidenced based prevention.

    Original Poster, you need to talk to a criminal lawyer not post up on a property investment forum.

    Queensland Criminal Code:

    The Law

    Section 317(b) states: “Any person who, with intent to do some grievous bodily harm or transmit a serious disease to any person; is guilty of a crime, and is liable to imprisonment for life.”

    Section 320 states : “any person who unlawfully does grievous bodily harm to another is guilty of a crime, and is liable to imprisonment for 14 years”.

    A criminal lawyer is not who you need, just google.

    Unless you believe that a person with HIV has had sex with you and not told you. Then go tell the police.

    Being in a food processing job/canteen etc is perfectly safe. People with HIV are generally extremely careful and the chances of them sharing their infected blood into your bloodstream in any of those circumstances is rare.

    Thanks. So 317 says they are liable to be imprisoned for life? as in life sentence? but liable means not 100% guaranteed?

    and 320 says 14 years...?
