Abstract

The brief analysis of the criminal liability regulation for exposure to HIV and AIDS presents the view that instead of focusing on the punishment of alreadypenalized HIV carriers, 161 §1 k.k. One should rather consider solutions that would make it impossible to transmit in most cases of fatal virus.
