Abstract/Description

Abstract	Abstract How has Canadian law evolved in terms of our understanding of sexual assault and HIV/AIDS? We reviewed Canadian criminal cases that involved those who didn’t disclose their HIV/AIDS status prior to sexual activity. We also examined current and empirically valid medical information regarding transmission rates to illustrate the evolving knowledge of the HIV/AIDS viruses.
