Is it criminal for a person who knows he/she is HIV positive to have unprotected sex with another person without revealing HIV positive status? Also, please consider the question: assuming one has legally confidential knowledge of someone else's HIV positive status, is there any way to act on the possible moral or ethical duty to warn that person's new partner without breaching confidentiality?
I am the ADA in our county representing CPS and a case worker asked me these questions. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The defendant's conduct meets the definition of aggravated assault or attempted murder.

Feel free to step down the hall with these questions, though I submit that Rolater is one of the great legal minds of our time. Or so says my friend Suzy Morton...

Greg, the key is acting like you know what you're talking about . . .

I sure hope I'm right, because we have something like 5 indictments against against an HIV positive Cassanova right now . . .
