Criminal exposure to HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C is when someone who knows they have one of these diseases knowingly exposes another person to it through intimate contact, by donating infectious blood or body parts, or by sharing used drug needles. This is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to 11 months and 29 days in jail and/or a fine up to $2,500, enhanced to a Class C felony (3-15 years in prison) under certain circumstances. It is a defense if the exposed person knew about the infection beforehand.

Penalty: Class A misdemeanor; 11 months 29 days; fine up to $2,500
