What exactly would you sue them for?
And say you win the case, what do you win from the defendant? Nothing's gonna get rid of the AIDS. When you get AIDS, you're ****ed (no pun intended).

Of course. If the infected person did not know beforehand their partner had AIDS, then yes. In fact, I'd recommend that the person who infected the other be charged with manslaughter, because, as a result of their dishonesty, someone will die.

just like a woman can scream RAPE, and it's her word against the guys.
Unfortunately in cases like that the law will go with what the women has said. Someone I went to school with is now pulling it with her ex-boyfriend. She consented to sex with him and then to get back at him for breaking up with her she's trying to claim that he raped her. With no evidence on either side, they normally side with the women - but the punishment isn't as harsh as if there is evidence.
As far as suing someone for giving you HIV. I think it depends. If the person that had it knew that they had it and simply didn't tell you to get you to have sex with them and didn't do anything in the slightest to prevent it, I think they'll probably win the case. Only because I have heard of people doing such things on purpose with the mind frame of "well, I have it - so why shouldn't they". I'm not sure how accurate it is, but I have heard such stories.

What bollocks.
there was a news break about a guy giving his girlfriend h.i.v i think 3 years ago and he got life in prison with no parole. the guy didnt tell his girlfriend he had the virus. i think its smart because h.i.v is not curable and that guy deserves to die in a cell for what he did.
