What it doesSummary introduced in house (Jan 6, 1987)
Makes it an offense for any Federal officer or employee or member of the armed forces, knowing that he or she has acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), an AIDS-related condition, or having been reliably informed that he or she has been found to have HTLV-III LAV antibodies, to knowingly transfer or attempt to transfer any of his or her bodily fluid to another individual: (1) while employed as such an officer, employee, or member; or (2) in any Federal facility. Requires anyone convicted of such offense to be quarantined for five years under supervision of the Public Health Service or until there is a cure, whichever occurs first.
Defines "bodily fluid" and "transfer."
Creates as an affirmative defense for anyone charged with such offense proof that: (1) the use of a condom prevented the transfer of bodily fluids, after consent following full disclosure of the risk; or (2) that such transfer occurred after advice from a physician that he or she was noninfectious.
Limits consent or previous AIDS infection of the transferee as a defense.
